LTI side frames on MTH Geep

Do you mean the redesigned MTH two axle EMD trucks?  Personally, I thought MTH did an excellent job on those redesigned EMD Blomberg GP/F unit trucks  

HW,

Actually, these are both from a while ago...  The GP35 is from 2008 and the GP40 is from 2002.  So, I'd venture to guess that these are not the new types.

Could I purchase the new ones separately?

Thanks,

Mario

The issue is the Wheel spacing. There were early issues about the MTH truck being too short from scale during the 1990's to the mid 2000. IF Legacy are scale wheel spacing you will have "close-up"Tissues and issues

I'll check it out when I get home...

Maybe I'll get lucky, maybe I won't.

If I could get the 2-rail pilots and new side frames, I'd be happy...happy...happy!

Thanks,

Mario

The new MTH trucks are muti-piece structures and are much better detailed than their earlier ones. As mentioned above, the issue would be the wheelbase and if you can get spares from MTH. They're pretty stingy about certain spare parts.

The issue with the MTH trucks in a 2-rail context is they're too far out in order to accommodate the wider tread of hi-rail wheels. The work-around is to preciselydrill two new mounting holes and shave down the mounting plate for the trucks to mount further in on scale wheels. The catch is that the new trucks have brake shoes that are very close to the wheel tread (as they're supposed to be) and if the holes aren't perfect, the shoes will kiss the wheel treads and short on 2-rail track.
