I bought 3 Atlas O DODX 89' flat cars. One of them did not have trucks. Google confused me. Can someone let me know which trucks will work with this flat car?
Thank You

Hi @NeOhiofan,
The 89' flatcar use 70 ton roller bearing trucks as can be seen in the parts diagram. Something that the parts diagram doesn't mention though is that this freight car uses longer couplers than normal, so you will need to buy the long shank couplers and do a quick swap. Its just a few screws. Atlas doesn't have the trucks in stock right now, but Mr muffin does, so I've included links to those as well. Hopefully this helps!

I appreciate this. I couldn’t find the model number for the car. this helps out immensely. Thank You
