Commonly used 1890’s and early 1900’s - Allowed in interchange service until about 1941.

The Arch Bar Truck is typical of these trucks from around the turn of the century. Despite the age of these trucks, they saw more than seventy years of service in some applications. The arch bar was allowed in interchange service until about 1941. On railroads that were not common carriers such as logging or other industrial lines, this restriction of the trucks did not apply since the trucks did not operate on rails other than the owner's. The Northern Pacific, for example, used truss rod frame maintenance of way cars fitted with arch bar trucks well into the early 1970's. Many logging railroads also used them at least until then.

Once Kadee trucks have been fitted to the car, always check the coupler height. Coupler height modification will probably be required due to non-standardized original equipment manufacturing in O-Scale. Always check coupler height and trip pin clearance using the #812 Kadee® Coupler Height Gauge for O-Scale, and check for the correct coupler height and trip pin clearance. If needed only use a Dry Graphite Lubricant such as our #231 “Greas-em” to lubricate the trucks couplers or moving parts.

Disclaimer: These instructions are guidelines for adapting Kadee® all metal 2-piece trucks to O-Scale rolling stock. Some additional modifications may be required and there is no express warranty that Kadee® trucks will work in all applications.
