I have a couple pair of them that I use as scenic elements around my enginehouses. Their rolling qualities are about the same as the Rex trucks with straight axles--poor at best! I've never heard of anybody tapering off the axle ends and inserting them into SHS's plastic-like bearing, but if one were to insist on those trucks, that should do the trick.
I think the original Rex Suburban engine used the Culp Andrews truck under it's tender.
