9'4"

Manufactured by Altoona Shops for Steam Depot. Used under tenders, or heavy flat cars or gondolas. The truck is sprung, but the frame is rigid on this model. Note that Bill installed NorthWest ShortLine wheels, which did not come with the truck originally.

(A side note: Altoona Shops was alleged, by S Scale Locomotive & Supply, to have copied SSL&S' brass version and re-cast and sold it in pewter, and was supposedly threatened with a lawsuit)
