* National B-1 50 ton

Price $45.pr proto48

The National type B 1 truck was a major advance in freight car truck design when it aoppeared in 1931. Trunnions connecting the bolster and side frames made it self-aligning, so the added weight and complication of a spring plank was eliminated, and long travel springs afforded a better ride than conventional ARA trucks. Service and reduce maintenance cost made this truck popular in the 30's and 40's. The design provided greater strength, more flexibility and less weight. This was the first plankless truck.
