After 25+ years of running the Capital Corridor (in push mode) at train shows, I ‘ ‘ finally’ ‘ toasted a truck !

This set runs between San Jose - Sacramento and does not have the same frame/chassis/wheels as the Bombardier sets.
I need the truck (with wheels). The bottom frame is fine.

I have a spare set (in home display) but would like to preserve the entire content.

Rob, Rob, Hans?

Depending on what day it is, they may or may not respond to questions like this on the forum. Here's their standard answer: azlforum.com/thread/631/azl-customer-support which basically points you to www.americanzline.com/contact-azl or instructs you to email: ztrack@aol.com .

I was looking at my set last night. The trucks are significantly different than anything else offered, even in how they attach. If parts from the boneyard are not available, this might be a job for a 3D printer. If AZL still has the cad files this could be an AZL Labs project. Other than that, maybe we will get another F59PHI Friday special and you can make some 5 car trains and have some spare parts.

I have 3 sets so I could snag 1 from one car but then I have 1 incomplete set, just for a truck. Developers often have savings, somewhere.

I steal a car or too for the more noticeable consist of today and a spare loco for the show. The 3rd set goes on the wall with another snatched car from the 3rd set:

WOW !!! Pix got CRUMBLED but when you open it, you get the idea. No time to fix it, I have a show to get ready for !!
