Prototypical Trucks

[NW Modeling List]

Hi Martin

Started my response to your email, but not completed yet.

The T-81 truck is the American Steel Foundries 70-ton truck. Since I am not a modeler, I’ll leave matching that to someone else.

It is referred to on some drawings as a Buckeye, but only a two axle truck

Best

Someone has gone to a lot of effort to create freight roster lists (posted on the website) and specified the truck fitted but what would be a useful accompanyment is a guide to N&W trucks and suitable model recommendations. Before duplicating efforts already made by others, does such a thing exist already?
