Jim,

Remember the folios were drawn in 1923 and most photos we have are from the ‘30’s so there would have been changes.

You have the three types right plus the tourist cars originally had a 5’ arch bar truck. I don’t have a picture of one. Maxwell had one listed but I didn’t find out about it until after Bruce passed away.
Also there were variations on trucks due to different manufacturers. An example are 70 and 76 both from St Charles had different journal box covers and the twist on the coil springs were reversed. And 26 and 62 had non-standard 5’6” trucks.

Yes I think the 73 had replacement trucks.

Michael, I have a C&S standard drawing for the 5’6” truck if interested.
