GS Drop bottom gondola trucks
« on: December 06, 2012, 04:21:21 PM »

I have been assembling 4 Tichy GS drop bottom gondola kits (#2706) that will be lettered for Pacific Electric but the instructions do not specify what type of trucks to use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?



Thank you in advance,

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

These cars probably received every type of truck in use at the time they were built, depending on the owners preference.  I doubt that they had archbar, and modern roller bearings are unlikely, but beyond that, almost anything.

As for the PE specifically, I have no idea.  Maybe one of the railway photo sites would have a picture.
