Jim:
"New news" is always much appreciated. First I knew of that. Do you
happen to know which ones? Since I have a couple of cars decorated for that
series (and one unpainted brass S-1) equipping them with correct trucks would
give me warm feeling if nothing else.
Thanks,
Dave Phelps

Jim:
According to the information on the NWHS web site, two types of trucks
were used, N&W types T-89 and T-94. From the photos, they appear to be
basically 41-N-11 trucks. I personally do not know in more detail what
differentiated a T-89 from a T-94, or what "41" classification specifically applied,
but there are others who I'm confident can fill in the blanks. The one
clue I see is that the equalizer beam on some of the trucks in the photos
appears to be of the "flanged" type, while others are a plain rectangular
cross section.
If you're modeling, consider the distance from which the cars will be
viewed. If it's three feet or more, in HO the Walthers 41-N-11 933-1069 will
do nicely, or the IHB "Super Free Rolling" four-wheel if you can find some
on eBay. (Do NOT use the Rapido 41-N-11; it has rotary snubbers. The N&W
used piston snubbers, and the difference CAN be seen from three feet.)
Hope this helps, sorry I can't help on the T-89 vs T-94, but my knowledge
just doesn't extend quite that far.
