As requested, here are the Archbar trucks with 11mm axle spacing to accept the OEM Bachmann tender truck electrical pickups and axles.  You are on your own to modify the pickups to make them see-through.

A pair can be ordered here.

These would work in the stand alone slope back tender trucks too, right?
I'm assuming they're the same. Is that a safe assumption?

What a great product!  If you could somehow stamp out phosphor bronze pickup inserts for them,  egad... what a killer thing that would be.

Still, I think I'll head over to your shapeways store and order a few of these.  They look so much better than the weird Bachmann truck sideframes.  Thanks for doing this!

LOL!  Yeah.  If I had a choice, you would like another  material, but beggars can't be choosers. Unless of course you have mastered your 3D printer at home and can do a special run of few of those for me.   :trollface: :)

I had a chuckle seeing this banner image made several years ago.  I don't know whose design that was, but it sure looks like a 3D drawing of an Archbar truck.  And it looks like we are still need Shapweays.  :facepalm:
