What is the difference between 3 axel lightweight trucks and 3 axel heavyweight trucks? These are New MT z scale passenger trucks.
Mainly in the details...and those are all over the place...of course, capacity as well on the prototype. What specifically are you looking for? Joe MTL
I was confused by your description of 6-wheel lightweight passenger trucks. I want to use them on heavyweight cars but didn;t want to run afoul of the rivet counters. Will you be offering these in multipacks?
I don't believe MT makes a 3 axle lightweight truck. This is their new 3 axle truck: http://www.micro-trains.com/trucks_6Passenger.php This is their old one: http://www.micro-trains.com/trucksCommonwealth6.php Both are an older design. N scale BTW. They don't make a 3 axle Z scale truck.
Yes they do Chris....just released this June...Z 6-Wheel Lightweight Passenger Trucks #004 02 091 (black) (1pr)…$8.30 Z 6-Wheel Lightweight Passenger Truck #004 42 091 (aluminum) (1pr)…$8.30
Guess so, I even checked the June releases before I posted. BLW doesn't list them: http://www.blwnscale.com/MT-New.htm The new ones are lightweight. MT doesn't make a heavyweight 3 axle truck in Z... yet.
Chris, Want to know something kind of ironic?.....we made the Z fence and gate kits for MTL. They won't be delivered to MTL till Tuesday morning. I find it kind of funny as a MTL dealer that I make some of the product for MTL and then have to buy it back to sell to my customers......truth is stranger than fiction..)
Micro-Trains | The Ultimate in N and Z scale model trains On the MTL Z Price List, in Black or Aluminum They may be used on the new circus sleepers?
No Garth, these are Z scale. They came out recently but were only available on rolling stock. Now you can buy them either singly in black or aluminum.
There may be a website that shows where you have to cover the Marklin bolster hole & redrill a new one for the MTL trucks. Someone makes a kit that converts Marklin caboose & steamer tenders. Some may try the new trucks on the Hallmark ornament cars.
The Marklin conversion that Joe D'Amato did looks pretty good. http://southernoregonz.com/Zmodels.html You might try to contact Joe for the offset dimensions, etc. Bill Mock
Thanks Lajos, I try to reach Z-scale Monster for 3 days, it is timing-out, impossible to reach. Dont know what happen.
Its workin again, so I see the pictures. Know, there is something very important for this set, metallic wheels ! Because otherway it will be difficult to put light in the (Hallmark for the moment) passenger cars. Light ist here the icing on the :cake:
