I have this car in dark green post-war scheme with the colored goat herald from Intermountain and would like to add the correct trucks for this class. Any ideas? Which class of trucks do the IM trucks that come in their boxcar kits actually represent? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas! Stefan Lerché Duncan, BC Canada

These cars had ASF A-3 Ride Control trucks with Timken roller bearings. See photo of GN 2538 on page 10 of RPCyc Vol 8. AFAIK, there isn't an exact match in HO. The MDC Hyatt roller bearing truck is one option for a stand-in.
