        A good place to see all of the truck types is at your friendly
local RR hobby shop.  I think the Model Die Casting (Roundhouse) old time
tank cars have/had Fox trucks.  Kadee has nice Andrews.  Andrews type, with
leaf springs in place of the coils(softer riding), seems to have been
popular on older cabooses.  Some very old arch bars were flat along the
bottom of the sideframe, while newer ones were more like do-it-yourself, or
poor man's, skeleton Bettendorfs.
