    Hi all.
    I am looking for new/excellent condition N scale Life Like trucks with blackened wheels and silver axles with rapido style couplers. If anyone knows where I can obtain a bunch please let me know.
    Thanks
    Cam

    Just to clarify, you mean freight trucks like these?

    It sure looks like the Life Like truck.
    I still use them, but periodically I have to swap a truck out if the wheels are sticking or don't spin freely. That's why I'm looking for spares.
    Thanks for the photo.
    Regards
    Cam

    Cam, I think you could use any brand made by RoCo.

    Cam,

    Have you thought about swapping over to knuckle couplers? MT trucks will last much longer than the cheap life like ones.

    Also, most new manufacturers have stopped using rapido couplers in their new equipment and it is no longer even coming with rapidos to swap out with. Atlas being one of them.
