Other cars with Allied Full-Cushion Trucks

Well, yes those too.  I was thinking of some sort of AAR 40' boxcar.  I think MT may have even released a model of it several years ago.

RI 20000-20039, 40 modified 1937 AAR boxcars built in 1941 for express service road on Allied trucks.


CMO also had 25 similar cars.

I that right?  Morning Sun Color Guide has RI 20000-200049 riding on GSC "BX" trucks and shows a picture.  NM, that picture was from the 70's and they were noting that they still had the GSC trucks (which replaced the Allied in the 50's).

I thought that the RI aluminum express cars (20060-20069) rode on the Allied trucks, but they are listed as Barber S-4 swing hanger.  Hard to see from the picture.

According to Ted Culotta's website 20000-20039 were delivered with Allied trucks and 20040-20049 were delivered with S-1-L Lateral Motion trucks.

edit: Dug through my folders and found this October, 1952 shot.

Thanks for all the info. Apparently 40' and 50' boxcars ran with them, if they were in express service. Might be neat to make some cars like that.

I did not know the B-50-25 had the Allied Full Cushion. Now I may have to get another Fine-N-Scale kit to do with these trucks.

According to info in the following link, it was only 10 of the B-50-31 class cars (9210-9219) that were equipped with the Allied Full Cushion trucks. The B-50-25 cars had trucks from either Symington-Gould or Timken.
