Can anybody tell me what type of trucks these are? I'm looking at the Bowser/Stwewart C630's new release. I'd like to model the ex Cartier mining beasts as purchased. Found the decals already. I don't have enough projects... Love this shot, at speed!

They are DOFASCO trucks. 134 inch wheel base vs.163 inch from EMD Flexicoil trucks. Those type of trucks are seen under all MLW 6 axle Canadian unit built. Also,the GE DASH 8-40CM built for CN,BCR and QSN&L are riding on the same type or trucks. For CN second batch of DASH 8, they are riding on retired CN M636 trucks. The GE AC4400 demonstrator unit and MK5000 are also riding on the same truck. Those new trucks from bowser will be very helpfull for everyone in various modeling projet .

Thanks! The Bowser Canadian models are a year away. This looks like a viable option.
