Which Burlington Diner are you talking about? Prewar or Postwar? If you are
using the Walther's car to do a post war diner you don't want to use
41-N/41-D Commonwealth Trucks. The trucks used on the Walthers Budd cars is a
standard Budd Truck used on most of Budd's postwar equipment. Exceptions
being (there maybe more) the Burlington Gallery Cars and the Full Domes built
for the Sante Fe and GN. I have used the Train Station Products Budd Truck on
my Budd GN and NP Equipment with very good results.
The Budd pre war cars used a General Steel Casting truck (if memory serves)
which does look sinilar to a Commonwealth Truck. Perhaps there are others on
the list that can give you more exact information.
