I think I got lucky and obtained some of the last Protocraft O scale 2 rail RB trucks. They look great. They roll great. I didn't have the cash to buy them all and fairly quickly to me, they were all gone. I was surprised to learn that any future ones would all be proto 48 versions. Maybe that's where the owner's interest is? or is there now more market demand for them?
I was also in the market for 3 axle modern RB trucks for my flat cars and was surprised that there weren't any out there. I purchased a PSC kit of their HD trucks and installed bearings into those. I wish they were a more modern version though.
So I'm left wondering if the main O 2rail market is still mainly into the older eras? It appears to me that at least some, if not most of the interest in modern has gone to proto 48 gauging by what's now available from manufacturers. I may have to find tender trucks that maybe I can get to look like what I'm after? It appears that I should have been into O scale back in the late 60's ad early 70's to match my wishes?
I read it's a great time for O scale but honestly I run into roadblocks for modern stuff that leave me wondering now, if it has actually past.
Why is it so tough to get modern O scale 2 rail supplies and proper equipment? With PSC under new owners and several others near transition, maybe it will get better soon for us modern equipment seekers?
