What prototype and era are you interested in? A quick glance shows a number of different style trucks on the ps hoppers.

Oddly, I haven't been able to find a single proto photo of L&N's 2960s online.

Assuming L&N continued using the same trucks as on the (PS 2750) number series just below the 2960s (the 2960s were 188000-188424), it appears that the Atlas model has the correct trucks.
