    Does anyone make leaf spring trucks. I plan on kitbashing a Frisco caboose, and would like to have a pair to use?

    Thy are also available from Atlas, both as roller bearing and friction, but the MTL do seem to look a lot better, having the drive for the generator molded in.

    If you have any reason to consider illuminating or marker lights, get a Kato cupola caboose just for the trucks, end-axle pickup system and frame. They are really good and worth it. I've done three of them for cabooses, one as a pickup flatcar for my burro crane, and two as tenders.
