| Post subject: | Cole Trailing Truck information needed |
Hi I am working on a building a CNW J class Mikado in 1/8 scale. I have a good number of drawings made from the originals. But I am having trouble finding information on the Cole Trailing Truck. The locomotive I what to model used a flat frame design. I have been able to find a lot of information on the vertical frame truck that used angle or channel as the frame. I think 975 at the Illinois Railway Museum used the flat frame Cole Trailing Truck. Are there any other preserved locomotives that have the flat frame Cole Trailing Truck? I am in Florida. If someone is willing to take some detail photographs for me, I will make a donation to their organization. Thanks Tim |

You didn't say where you are in Florida, but IIRC Atlantic Coast Line 4-6-2 #1504 located at the convention center (former passenger terminal) in Jacksonville has a Cole trailing truck. |

Thanks for the information. I am in Tampa. I was down at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum this past weekend. FEC 153 has a vertical frame Cole trailing truck. I think ACL 1504 is a USRA Locomotive. If it is it most likely has a vertical frame Cole trailing truck also. Tim |
