Hi all,

I've been trying to find how much one of these trucks weighs. Anybody out there happen to know?

Thanks
Bill

9600 lbs. each truck, complete with wheels.

Moving a troop sleeper?

One of the NH troop sleeper express cars at RMNR recently was refitted with a pair of these Allied trucks, which arrived in 2013 from the far-off and exotic City of Owosso, Mich. Replacing a set of old non-standard-to-the-car NH trucks, the "new" Allieds allowed the car to sit level for the first time in decades.

Thanks Howard!

I wondered how you knew the weight so fast. Figured you had it in your hip pocket! :)

I guessed at the body weight.

To answer K5's question, yep!

If you know anyone who has a set to sell, I've been looking for some for my Western Maryland car for several years.
