    Good evening.

    I found a bunch of Deluxe Innovations 1958 Cubic Foot 2-Bay Covered Hoppers without trucks in storage so I am wondering which are the correct MTL trucks to buy for them.

    model style in question

    note: trucks with couplers ... I have no desire to mess with body-mounting couplers.

    thanx

    Gordon,I looked at the Micro Trains website,noting listed for the 1958 cubic foot 2 bay covered hopper,the other cars for Deluxe Innovations list the 1030,1128 and 1129.The 1129 work for the Kato 2 bay covered hoppers so I wonder if the 1129 will work for the Deluxe Innovations car.

    I would try good old MTL #1000 trucks, but this is just a guess :)
