Seat configurations


Our Driving trucks come in as many varieties as there are rolling stock, virtually any body can be made by us to meet your requirements

The body sits on a full length laser cut & powder coated 6mm steel chasis and our new AME designed twin, sprung sets, of laser cut & powder coated 6mm steel bogies, fitted with heavy duty springs, the axles are set into sealed ball-race bearings. It has been designed to keep the wheels firmly on the track even on fairly uneven conditions

The heavy duty springs will allow a weighty load to be carried without problem

This design is very modern and an enhancement to any 5" guage railway

Specifications for each truck are by arrangement according to your requirements

The driving truck does not include the controls as shown on this model.

The seat can be at one of three heights, at the height shown (as above), flush with the top or mounted on the top which must be stipulated at time of order and is ready upholstered
