Quick Casey posted:I may be wrong but I remember in my great 2 rail O scale adventure in the early eighties, buying pre-assembled O scale trucks in a plastic bag with the Athearn name on the cardboard hanging tab. Roller bearing, Bettendorf, and maybe arch-bar. Only the trucks, no other equipment, save from the recent 1:50 vehicles.
I think it might have been in the 80's when the Reynolds//Athearn line of kits that had migrated to be under the old Old Pullman line run by Beat Hug then migrated to be under the LWS umbrella for a few years prior to moving on to Boxcar Jim where the trail apparently ended quietly.
