Folks, I have been poking around the archives and other sites with no luck. Can anyone tell me the correct trucks for this model? Thanks, CJ Riley

Ben While the hack certainly looks the same, the LOGO/HERALD looks completely different... Is the image Tim cited a WM herald that I'm not familiar with? Regards Bruce Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

That's interesting. I've seen similar loads also destined for Ford Motor Co. on the CPR and GNR, both near Vancouver, B.C. They must have been buying everywhere. See related photos at the Vancouver

Look in the ORER in the Connection and Junction Points lists. KL
