Back in 1962 I cobbled up an inspiration of these SP twin-unit cars. It consisted of two AF 663 observations minus the boat-tails and one truck; one frame was trimmed and the other one Z-bent twice to clear the first. It is still buried here.

The two types were identical except for a modified center bolster on the center truck to accommodate the articulated hinge and larger bearings. The triple-unit diners for the Coast and Shasta Daylights, the Cascade and the unique Lark Clubs had three axle, six wheel center trucks (Class 6-TCA-1). These were pretty much standard "Commonwealth" friction bearing trucks with 4 brake cylinders on each truck. Hope all that TMI helps.
