Hi Jim. I mentioned above that the ASF trucks in the Cimarron Phase 1 coal gons were produced by San Juan Models for the kits. Bob Stears did the drawings, and as you can see in the photos of my 015, they are perfect.  Bob had just a couple of spares left over, and he graciously sent me a set for this model to replace the ones that came in the DP kit I built this from using just white metal parts. He said San Juan may still have the dies and hoped that they would be added to the line, but they never have been. By the late 20's, I believe the only two flangers left were Idler 013 and Flanger 015.

So the correct answer to this  question, is yes, And no. I have only two pair of these ASF trucks. One is under 015, the other is under Phase 1 #4319, which I had bought as a complete Cimarron kit.

I suspected the original trucks were from the original builder, which also built RGS #01. So Norm and Keith are OK using those until real ASF trucks may be produced. Like I was for at least two or three years.
