The Vulcan Cast Steel Truck which is standard on the Bachmann 1:20.3 "EBT 2 Bay Hopper" model (product numbers 88995 thru 88997) was widely used on several other narrow gauge railroads - Examples include the East Broad Top on a wide variety of their cars (Coal Hoppers, Box Cars, Flatcars), the Sumpter Valley Railway in Oregon on flatcars and the long #1600 series of Boxcars, the White Pass & Yukon in Alaska, B.C., and Yukon Territory on flatcars and some work cars, etc. Because of the scarcity (actually lack of) of cast steel trucks (either the Vulcan or the Bettendorf "T" type) for 1:20.3 gauge rolling stock, I would suggest that if Bachmann made the Vulcan Type truck available in "2-Packs" there would be a ready market for such a cast steel truck frame model product among 1:20.3 / "G" Gauge modelers. I know of several existing "Mass-Production" G-Gauge railroad freight cars including tank cars that could readily be upgraded by the addition of cast steel frame trucks.
