The Walthers UP "Q" trucks are closest...they are the UP design trucks that
Walthers put under the CB&Q four window waycars. They are or will be
available separately AFAIK. The UP (and C&NW) apparently thought enough of
the CB&Q No.7 truck design to use them on their cabooses, even under the
first steel cars. They are quite similar to the real McCoy except for the
details of the journal pedestals and the shape of the strap along the bottom
of the jorunal pedestals.
Some people have used the old MDC/Roundhouse "Overton" trucks as a stand-in
before the Walthers trucks were tooled. DesPlaines Hobbies / Centrailia Car
Shops will also have the UP version sometime in the future....in HO.

Subject: [CBQ] Q Waycars
> I have two AMB Laserkit HO CB&Q 30' wood waycars. What trucks would give
the best accuracy and free-rolling performance for these models? I prefer
to have metal wheels on my rolling stock, so the Walthers Q waycars would
not be my preference, as the wheels are plastic. Also, which decals would
work best. I notice on my Walthers waycars that there is nothing on them
except the no., CB&Q, and the Burlington Route emblem. I would like to add
some more info to my Walthers models, as I detail them. I will also
replace the plastic wheels with metal.
