Features embodied into this design include a longer spring travel, no spring planks and constant friction control using friction castings in the bolster to dampen excessive lateral roll of the car. These design features allowed for a higher train speed with less danger of derailment than previous designs. ASF sold over 140,000 sets by 1949. This truck is excellent for modeling the transition era up to 1994 when friction bearings were no longer allowed in interchange service.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e‘HGC’ or High Gravity Compound, weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks but with more detail \u0026amp; a 2 piece split bolster design for more efficient truck equalization, reduced axle friction for greater rolling performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e‘HGC’ Two Piece Fully Equalized Trucks Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSelf Centering Action - Trucks self align themselves parallel with the car for easier placement on track.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eCode 88 .088 inch #530 33 inch Smooth Back Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e‘HGC’ Weighs nearly the same as Metal Trucks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSuperior Rolling Ability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eClip on Brake Pads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAccurate Markings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eIncredible Detail True to Prototype\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eNon-Magnetic Metal Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHighly Flexible Fully Equalized Trucks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSmooth tracking Free Rolling Contoured Insulated Plastic Axles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eRP-25 Free Rolling Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e2 - Each #1562 ASF Ride Control 50-Ton Self Centering Two Piece ‘HGC’ Trucks assembled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e2 - Clip on Brake Pads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e2 - Each Self Centering Bushing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e2 - Each #2 Screw\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe term Code 110 and Code 88 relates to the width of the wheels and has no relationship to track code. Code 110 wheels are .110 inches wide and Code 88 are .088 inches wide. Code 110 wheels are the common or ‘Standard’ width wheels and Code 88 are what is called ‘Semi-Scale’ and are used when the modeler wants a more prototypical looking wheel width. Actual HO-Scale prototypical wheel width would be around .067 inches wide and although they will run OK on the average track they will not go through common turnouts and crossings. Code 88 .088 inch is just about the minimum width of wheel that will run on most standard or common track if gauged correctly. It really is a matter of appearances because there's very little operational differences between running Code 110 or Code 88 wheels. Code 88 wheels look really good and are most noticeable on open frame cars like hoppers and tank cars. However, they also look great on boxcars, gondolas, and reefers but not quite as noticeable. As mentioned above track code and wheel code have no relationship meaning Code 110 and Code 88 will run on most any code of track. Track code is simply the measured height of the rail, code 100 is .100 inches tall, code 83 is .083 inches tall, code 70 is .070 inches tall, and so on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDon’t forget these other helpful tools for your Kadee truck installations:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kadee-206-insulated-multi-purpose-coupler-height-gauge\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;
