Tom, where would you put the SSA roller bearing trucks--I mean the newer style? I have several pair of the earlier kit type and they seem okay although they don't do well with 36" wheels (this style was used on the double stacks originally). Also don't forget the Smoky Valley version (that I have yet to build).
