Nelson and others: Years ago (back in the 1970s when
I was publishing BN Annuals), I sold 8.5x11 3-hole-punched copies of 1930 Q
freight car and truck diagram books. I had 100 of each Xeroxed, and the
freight car books quickly sold out, but all these years later I still
have a few of the truck books. The pages include dimensioned
side elevations of each truck type and a listing of car classes and
numbers (specific cars numbers being given for passenger cars) on which each
truck type was used. There are 37 different passenger car trucks shown
(including gas-electric motor car trucks), while the freight car trucks go
only up to No. 53, one of the early AAR cast steel trucks of the design
commonly called a Bettendorf truck (and in this instance actually
manufactured by the Bettendorf Co.). Locomotive tender trucks are also
shown. While I sold the reprints in black binders, I have long
since run out of them, but for $10 each I will gladly sell the remaining
sets of the truck book sheets to anyone with an interest. Bear in mind
that the drawings only show trucks in use up to 1930, so there are no
lightweight passenger car trucks shown. And there are fewer than 10 sets
left, so first come, first served. This being a commercial
listing of sorts, I probably should have waited until Friday to post it, but
here it is. Hol

Duncan,
No,
they aren’t right. I’ve scratchbuilt three Havelock cars, two BA-19A and one
BA-19 in shadowline. I used Train Station Products 732-427 as the best match
for Q 3-N and 3-N1 trucks.
And
to address Jonathan’s comment about truck drawings in Blick’s passenger car
diagram book, the truck sideframes are not drawn. Only the wheelbase is shown
with the wheels drawn as circles where the wheels are located. What I’m asking
for is a cross-reference to Q passenger car truck classes like the one for Q
freight car trucks, and nobody seems to have such a document.

I'd be
interested in whether any of the Walthers GSC trucks are right for the
Havelock cars.
I'm not sure exactly
what you're asking, Nelson. Bill Glick's book of passenger car diagrams has
good, large-scale drawings of all(?) the Q's passenger trucks, including all
those you list.
Since I haven't looked
into this with much care, I'll be most interested in what other modelers say
about the available choices.

The Q used their own
identifiers for trucks. I have the freight car cross-index chart, but I don’t
have one for passenger trucks. After some research, I need the following
passenger car trucks (or close approximations) for my passenger car
fleet:
3D, 5C, 5G, 5H, 5K, 5L,
and 5M
Is there a cross-index
for Q numbers and Pullman numbers? Do any of the Walthers Pullman trucks
come close to any of the Q trucks? Are there other commercial truck options
for these Q trucks?
I’ve tried photo
matching, but many of the passenger car photos don’t show enough truck detail
to be helpful.
