    1111's. They are a bit tricky to install--have a few extra springs handy...

    The 1111 is the correct conversion.
    The Atlas truck rolls very well. I would not switch it.
    If you really want to change them then the Swing Motion Caboose trucks are an accurate replacement OR the roller bearing truck depending on your prototype and time frame.

    In some cases (unique prototypes) no correct replacement truck is available. For example, Rock had some caboose trucks where the side frame was shaped like a water bucket yoke. /o\____/o\ (crude drawing please excuse) Nobody makes it nor are they likely to.

    Fun fact - the Atlas EV coupler pocket was designed specifically to take the MT 1111. This was tooled before Atlas went to Accumates.

    We try to keep the whole line in stock. Both the Atlas caboose trucks and the MTL trucks and the appropriate MTL coupler.
