Prototypical Trucks

[NW Modeling List]

 I'm going to guess that was a Bettendorf type truck, which was modeled by practically everybody. If a 70 ton truck, look for one with three visible springs (rather than two).

This stemmed from trying to find correct trucks for a HO scale N&W G4 gondola, I know they are N&W T-81, but what are they in normal speak? And what is a good model?
I know N&W had unique truck designs but they also bought in standard designs and then gave them their own designation. Someone has gone to a lot of effort to create freight roster lists (posted on the website) and specified the truck fitted but what would be a useful accompanyment is a guide to N&W trucks and suitable model recommendations. Before duplicating efforts already made by others, does such a thing exist already?
If not has anyone researched particular trucks and found suitable models thereof that could start to form the basis of? I don't mind compiling but my knowledge and access to information is limited. That and others are far more qualified on the subject.
