I would like to revise my DSP&P Type A/Litchfield/12t trucks.  I plan on incorporating the lessons learned from the UP/14t/Type C trucks: 24" wheels, journal box shape, and probably copy over the swing motion details unless there's better info out there.

I'd also like to work on the Colorado Central trucks.  I have previously prepared a version in 1:20.3 as well as scratch built some with styrene in O scale, but I never had a good handle on the columns.  I'd like to know what they looked like and their arrangement relative to the spring plank, arch bars, and tie bar.

I would love to know what you think are the best photos of these trucks as well as every other pair used on the DSP&P, CCRR, DL&G, UPD&G, and C&S.  Including passenger car trucks, as I've long wanted to re-create the Barney & Smith trucks with what call their "heart shaped" hardware.

Thank you,
Michael
