I zoomed in and also loaded a scan that shows the truck in more detail, which I think is a USRA style Andrews truck. https://www.flickr.com/photos/45425384@N04/16585362959/in/album-72157650860825108/ Tim O'Connor ============ Definitely NOT the USRA truck, which were modern, for the time, U section trucks. The truck in the photo has the older T or L section sideframes, which were banned from interchange early. I think the older Kadee Andrews truck is close to this truck; don't know if the same truck is part of their upgraded truck line. Dennis Storzek
