Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone would know where I could find a 4 wheel streamline truck. I purchased 3 cars from a guy on e-bay, all the cars look pretty good, just need one more truck. I contacted Kadee but they only make freight trucks. The trucks are srpung on these cars. I would appreciate whatever help you can give.

Thanks
Scott
 
Check Walthers, Bethlehem Car Works, Precision Scale Co, Con-Cor, & KitBits. These are just some of the companies that offer 4 wheel streamline passenger car trucks.

Wow, unfortunately there are more kinds of 4 wheel passenger trucks then one can shake a stick at. IHC used to make a really nice Commonwealth truck. It was fairly common. Perhaps you could still find one lurking on eBay. However; I'm guessing the Varney's are going to be smaller. Thinking about it now and considering the age, .... I'm going to guess the Varney's have Central Valley brand trucks. Long out of business. But still available when one looks. Perhaps like these:

Varney never used Central Valley trucks. They made their own. Central Valley only supplied their own car kits, and the Kar-line kits with trucks. You could always buy CV's and install them on just about anything however.
 
Thanks for the info and links. I will take a look at them, I probably will find something that is close. Thanks again for your help.
