Description
The Kadee #581 is a pair of HO-scale Bettendorf T-Section trucks with 33" ribbed-back metal wheels (HGC = Hot Glued Couplers — couplers permanently bonded for trouble-free service). All-metal sprung construction — the same design used by Kadee since the 1960s, prized for free rolling, prototypical sound, and decades of reliable service.

- 1 pair of Bettendorf T-Section trucks (assembled)
- 33" Ribbed back metal wheels (Code 110 unless noted)
