Thanks Ken,

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.


Is this the Maxwell plan to which you are referring? Maxwell labeled it C-115, originally C-15, drawn in 1956:


Sorry, the plans are too big for my scanner!

The excursion trucks look to be a variation on a swing beam truck. These are the best two photos that I have:





Seems like someone posted a high res photo of an excursion car on the Forum, but I can't find it. Todd Hackett perhaps??

So Michael, a fourth C&S passenger truck might be in order . . .
