Alco/AARType B Side Frames Parts Availability

[ElectricFan]

This is a question for the Bach Man and Bachmann. 

Would Bachmann consider making the Alco/AAR Type B truck side frames available in the parts department?  The truck side frames are used on the Shark, FA2, RS3 and S4 locomotives.  Besides being replacement parts for those locomotives, some railroads used them on GP30s and GP35s when they traded in old Alco locomotives, and Conrail used them on B23-7 and  B30-7 locomotives.

From what I can tell from the parts diagrams, the part numbers are H618x-00001 for the FA and RS3 and H618x-000011 for the FB.  The S4 and Shark A diagrams show part #00001 and Shark B diagram show part #000011.

I know that Bachmann has several different EMD side frames available for Fs and GPs  and from what I can tell from locomotives the Alco side frames would fit the F and GP trucks.

Thanks very much.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but was there any response?  I would like AAR B trucks for a B23-7, too.

Dear Fan,
Contact the parts department to check current and future availability.
