Spare Athearn HO scale Bloomberg B Power Trucks

I bought these to serve as spares for my four engine roster of Legacy Blue Box GP 35’s in IC Green Diamond trim. They have all been recently overhauled and all worn parts brought up to spec and all have been fitted with Soundtraxx Tsunami2 DCC decoders.

I also have one Athearn F7 which uses the same type trucks.

Two of my oldest geeps arrvfitted. With the older style trucks with the cast metal side frames, which seem to be not as durable as the later trucks with the different type of wlectricql pick-off, which simply isn’t as DCC friendly. Luckily, Athearns were designed so that most of the older designs can be upgraded with the newer parts with little or no modification.Read full review...

Factory Fresh fix your Locomotive.

Factory part and difficult to find. Usually these can be repaired with just wheel gears. However, if damage to the casing or other parts they entire unit is needed. Please be aware that it does not come with warm gear and cover. This is a genuine Athearn part. Read full review...

Good deal every way you look

I buy old engines and rebuild them , that is why I buy powered trucks or I add gears to dummy's and they work very well

Athearn power trucks

These trucks are well built , with plated wheels. They will conduct electricity better than the old trucks and stay cleaner.
