I looked up the referenced photos in RPC Vols. 6 & 8 and noticed the cars were delivered with Allied Full Cushion trucks. Not sure how long they stayed that way as those trucks were eventually outlawed for interchange, but Allied Full Cushion trucks were made in S scale by River Raisin Models. Don't know if they are still availble but it might be an interesting option for passenger train service.
High speed trucks are a tiny segment only rperesented by a couple of limited styles in S scale... The Symington-Gould double truss trucks exist in S, but they are hard to find. I built some NYC M&E cars with them, interestingly enough those very cars are pictured in a Symington-Gould ad reproduced on page 23 of RPC Volume 8!! I believe Andy Malette and Rusty have done some GSC truck castings, again very limited... Oh what I wouldn't give for a nice roller bearing ASF A-3 Ride Control truck...
