Description: “TRUCK JIG” / TJR1 The [ Truck Jig ] is designed to hold the freight car truck bolster. This allows you to drill out the boss to the needed diameter. A word of caution: do not use an electric or powered drill to bore these holes; drill them by hand so you do not destroy the truck. Most freight cars have a 1/8th inch bolster king-pin and need a 0.1285” bore (#30 drill bit) in the trucks. Mantua freight cars with a metal under-frame have 9/64th king-pins and require 0.147” boss (#26 drill bit) in the trucks. This Truck Jig is BLACK in color, but otherwise identical to the GRAY TJ R1. The Jig tool was originally conceived to hold Central Valley trucks. It fits most (2 axle) freight car trucks (including Athearn), although some have to be upside-down.Now you can install Athearn trucks on Mantua freight cars. The center void extends all the way through the jig. If you want to attach it to a piece of wood, the mounting holes will accommodate a #6 screw. Note: The trucks pictured are not included with your purchase. They are shown for illustrative purposes only. The TJ V2 fits Kadee Trucks (but not the new split bolster). If you have any questions, PLEASE ask. Thank you for looking!If you purchase multiple items from me, I will combine shipping whenever possible and give you a refund for the difference.Kindly leave a 5-Star review.
