Part number for Lionel plastic operating truck?

I think you would be better off buying cheap train cars rather then buying just the trucks, unless you want new looking trucks, then just buy cheap cars off of ebay.

in the Lionel Catalogs, they say that for $20.49 you get a pair of trucks, I think that is how they sell all of their trucks, but I am not sure.

For a lot less than $21 you can find nice cars to rob trucks from!

I wish Lionel would run the plactic ArchBar trucks again...I am running out of them!

Back when they were easy to find a major Lionel parts seller had them for about $5 a pair. Should have bought more!!!

We have the 610-9150-050 trucks for $7.00 ea. plus shipping. Or you can buy the Korean truck frame from Jeff at the Train Tender For $2.50 and axle and wheels for $2.15 Ea. We also have the 610-9950-050 they are $10.60, these are sprung die cast. You can also call Lionel during their open house and get them for 50% off list price.

I venture to say that many of us have a bunch of those plastic trucks in boxes or bags, so if you post in the "wanted" forum, you can probably get them for a song.

 

Is there part number on those??? Tough looking up parts at Tender w/o one!!! Thanks!!

Dave,

Thanks!!!!

Thanks everyone.  It looks like scavenging is my best bet.  I have some candidates for donors but since some of them are club cars I want to post them in the for sale section first, just in case some one has been looking for that particular car.  I also will run a wanted ad.  Is anyone else getting their parts list ready for Saturday?

All trucks are single. If it is only a part, the photo reflects that specific part. If it is a 3-rail truck the wheels are metal. Mike

FYI while hunting, Lionel MPC made some all plastic trucks that came with plastic wheels as well. The lack of weight alone keeps me from running them. Also axles are not all the same in length and/or style. Coupler lengths vary. Bolster areas style and height can be different too.

Thank you for answering my question about metal versus plastic on the wheels.

 

 

Those mpc cars had often had one operating, and one non operating coupler. The Kickapoo set(1980s) had two non operating ones on the cheapest cars Ive ever seen in O. Those mid-higher priced trucks are mostly metal, really roll very very well(way better that the post war metal ones), sprung, some even have real bearings, and most cars can use the extra weight. I would save till I could afford some, nice of me to spend your $ huh? Do you need plastic wheels(fyi-w/metal axles)? I would trade you for some steel ones via mail. I might have 20 pair total, but they are not extras, I would have to have replacements. I have them, I just avoid running them....Hey, why plastic? Which car #s, and name?

If one orders the sprung metal trucks during the sale, they would only be $6.25 each.

I have purchased NOS pairs of sprung trucks on Ebay for between 10 and 15 dollars per pair.
The early seperate sale sprung trucks came in little white cardboard boxes, sealed shut with the label. I think the labels were red.

Yep, and those trucks came in pairs, I still have a couple of sets of them in the red labeled boxes.

 

As far as the plastic ones, the previous comment is correct, they came in a variety of styles, especially coupler lengths.  I have three different coupler lengths of plastic trucks in my parts box.
