Buckeye trucks on Bachmann Aux Water Tender

[craigolio1]

Oh and the MT is 4'4". Without all the extra brake detail on the ends, so the MT is much shorter than the Kato.

Perfect. I didn't have that measurement for the Buckeye truck. The Kato GS4 Buckeye has an axle spacing of 4'10" by my measurements. All though I may have been off an inch.

Game on.

Thanks again everyone.

The GS-4 had 5'-0" Buckeye axle spacing, as did the NKP Berkshire. The models, I don't know.

I measured the model. Glad it's on the small side!

What are the dimensions of the trucks used on the Royal Hudson's tender?

[craigolio1]

Axle spacing of 4'9".

[peteski]

Axle spacing of 4'9".

So it is very close to the GS4 trucks. That is a good news (since those are well made, low-friction, and have all wheel pickup).

Yes I'm  very please about this. Solves that all important low friction tender and electrical pick up issue.

Looks like we might have tender trucks sorted out for all classes of the Royal Hudson! Had a look last night at some spare Bachmann Commonwealth truck I have, it measures in at an axle spacing of 4' 3.5", a little short for the RH at 4' 5", but close enough. It is also low friction axle cone pickups. Can anyone measure the axle spacing on a Concor commonwealth truck?

Nice!
