Q on Rapido Passenger Cars

[NW Modeling List]

If you go to this web site and click on the 41-BNO-11 link, you'll see a  
picture of the outside swing hanger truck that was on the N&W model I  saw.  I 
think the N&W T89 is a 41-N-11, same as the picture in the  link, from what I 
could find quickly.  That's encouraging, as a changeout  should be a snap if 
you're so inclined..

Rapido also makes these trucks, they look pretty close to  me:

Maybe the cars  even come with those trucks - I can't tell from the Rapido  
website.
