Bob - awhile back a friend bought Intermountain Bettendorf truck kits in bulk and re-sold them to friends in the MD/DC,VA area. I seem to recall they cost less than $3/pair. We also bought Intermountain wheel sets in bulk. When Athearn truck prices went out of sight Intermountain trucks became my de-facto standard for re-trucking steam/diesel transition era freight cars. The details really "pop" when weathered and their NMRA standard height bolsters make them particularly suitable for use under Athearn, All Nation, Weaver, and a wide range of imported brass freight cars.
