I have widened the Bachman On30 passenger truck. I made a wider copy of the bolster in styrene, and used S Helper scale wheels. Mine are on a milk car.

Has anyone built one yet, and what did you use for trucks? So far as I can tell, there is nothing in S scale suitable for the short wheelbase wood-frame trucks required by the prototype Take a look at the Bachmann On30 passenger car truck. It's a three piece truck, bolster and two sideframes that are screwed together. They should be able to be widened out for S by making some spacers. They may not be 100% accurate, but be closer than anything available. Rich G(ajnak) ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
