Trevor,
I'm donning my nomex flame suit as I type this reply -- but you asked.
If you are willing to take a few minutes to regauge them, the Bachmann
On30 archbar trucks _/*may*/_ be an option.
Here is a shot of the original style Bachmann On30 archbars beside the
vintage Ace 1:64 archbars:

Bachmann has several styles of archbars currently available; the other
styles may be found on their On30 skeleton log cars and the new series
of 18 foot long On30 cars. I'm not sure if these styles are available
separately, yet.
Here are 2 shots of the final regauging with SHS wheelsets:

Hi everyone:
I was talking to someone about S scale arch bar trucks yesterday. I
have some from Iron Rail Models but I note that their web site
(http://www.ironrailmodels.com) expired in August. So, a couple of
questions...
1 - I assume this means Iron Rail Models is no longer in business?
Just checking.
2 - What other sources, if any, exist for S scale arch bar trucks?
Thanks in advance!
- Trevor
