Thanks everyone for that information, big help!
C.W., the shell number 2224 is in cast.
I’m not having much luck finding a complete truck with roller anywhere. Looks like the box is force fitted, I’d probably end up breaking it trying to remove.
Chuck, if I can’t find a complete truck I will email you. I’ll probably attach with a dab of JB weld. You’ve helped me out before with some Flyer parts.
Off topic, but are the cast 225E and 1666 prewar engines considered “Tinplate”. I know they pulled tinplate cars.
Thanks...Rich
