Truck mounts have 2 possible positions allowing use of various trucks.

Small trucks:  Kadee HO 501, or equivalent Tichy HO archbar trucks with HO 33" wheels. (9.6mm).  Tichy archbar trucks fitted with 10.5mm wheels can also be used with alternative supplied mounting in the kit.

Larger trucks: Bachmann, San Juan trucks. the chassis can has the space to take quite large wheels and still hold a reasonable tight radius.

Coupler mount designed for Kadee HO 148 "whisker" couplers. Can also use older No5 couplers with simple modification.

The chassis frame design leaves a lot of space for adding weight. Thats usually the biggest problem with empty flat cars making them run badly without loads. The KHM design has a large pocket 3.8mm deep within the subframe . My prototypes are 111g (4oz) using lead sheet.  weights not supplied in the kit.

BRITS!  you can buy the trucks, 148 couplers, turnbuckles, NBWs, brake wheels, stake posts (if wanted) from Paul Martin at EDM Models (NG Trains) and also from the 7mm NG Association Sales.  The kit comes with a free KHM laser cut brake wheel pack for the cars
