I realize that this is probably a difficult question but please try and help.
I am going to, eventually, be building a NYC layout in the 1940 to 1950's era, and not to be a rivet counter but, what type of freight trucks would a rail watcher find on the equipment of the day? I just want to try and get most commonly used, for example: most boxcars had Andrews trucks with 33" ribbed back wheels, flat cars had the same.
Just trying to gather info. to make it as acurate as possible.
Thanks,
Scott
