[PRCo] Re: H.O. Penn Scale Models/Bowser Trolley Part Needed

[Bob Dietrich]

Herb:

I have mome I built up myself and cast in resin.  I also have a bunch of the
new plastic type with pins.  I can mount blocks on these so they can be
mounted on the old style rucks.  I will also look for the original metal
side frames - they should be around somewhere.  

Do you mind cementing the side fames to the trucks instead of screwing?

We should take this off list - Bob at dietrichsfam.com

I tried Bowser and they have none of the old style sideframes in stock. I
was recently given two PSM IRR cars. One has the really old whitemetal
sideframes. However, two of them are broken and these are the ones I need to
replace. I would rather replace all four with the plastic type. The
whitemetal ones break too easily. What type do you have available?
