[CBQ] Re: XA-9 Trucks

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

Rich,

I checked my folio book and it says the XA-9 had type 50 trucks. That  
is listed as a 100-M cap. cast Steel truck.  It does not list a  
commercial type. Comparing a builder photo with a pic of the Tahoe  
Model truck, it looks very close. The TMW 206 is what I have for my  
XA-9 when I get around to building it.
