Doug & List,
According to Bill Glick's "Passenger Cars of the Burlington," (which by the
way is still available to purchase) the CB&Q waycars used CB&Q Truck No. 7.
The MDC trucks are very close, but a wee bit oversized. The prototype had
a
5' 0" wheelbase - the MDC trucks have a scale 5'-5" wheelbase. The upper
wooden beam on the prototype was 8'-7 3/4 and the MDC's is right on. These
are close enough that they are the wheelsets I use for my base finishing
kit.

Members,
What kind of condition has your Burlington Bulletin packet been arriving
in? I got mine today and it looked like it had been left under a bulldozer
that was turning donuts. Thanks to the United States Postal Service for
sticking it to us with postage increases and caring for the service they
are suppose to provide!
On to a better topic.
Dave Lotz, Q CONNECTION, this is for you.
Would you know how close to correct the caboose trucks from MDC (?) are?
They look close.
