I own some trucks that had come from some Kinsman passenger cars. These
have been cobbled together from what might be the Delaware
Valley/Kemtron side frames and/or some other Kemtron parts. The
wheelbases have been extended considerably. The downside is that they
probably need to be further modified to roll better. I have saved them
although I have substituted the AM 4 wheel trucks for their rolling
qualities. The builder of the trucks was a Ron Koch. He did an
excellent job in building those kits including actually chaining the
trucks to the cars--something you just don't see often.

Hi Brian;
Aren't express trucks a bit short for passenger cars? Maybe the AM
four wheel passenger trucks would work?
