Broadway Ltd H2a Hoppers

Anybody have these yet? Was wondering what kind of trucks they have (proprietary or someone else's)? BLI's website doesn't have much info.

Thanks,

I think that skipgear has some sets. He had a ditty on his FB page about them.

Not yet but should have them tomorrow.

I'm picking up a set from @SkipGear tomorrow afternoon. I'll find out from him or try to figure out myself (I'm no truck expert)

Saw them last night in the local hobby shop. Not bad looking. Didn't take them out to really check them out.

Mark, the trucks are BLI's own.
According to Teichmoeller, the H2a rode on N&W class T91 Barber-Stabilized (three visible springs, Buckeye design sideframe) or N&W class T92 A3 Ride-Control trucks (with the same spring arrangement as the BLMA trucks, yay!)

Arrangement drawings are here: http://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/selectdocs.php?index=rs&id=2008
From the drawings, it looks like BLI nailed the T91! Plus as they appear to have protoypical bolster height, peeps can substitute the BLMA A3 Ride-Control trucks for a little variety with no mods required.   

hope this helps.....

Edited for clarity and spelling

The trucks appear to be the T91. The cars are outstanding. See my post in the other thread.

Excellent, thanks for the info.
