Hello, Crew! I'd like to get a Funaro & Camerlengo B&O C15 baggage car kit. My questions are about the type trucks that were used, how long the cars were in service, etc. Thanks!

Modeling the early '50s Erie in Paterson, NJ. Here's the link to my railroad postcard collection: https://railroadpostcards.blogspot.com/
I don't recall what B&O called their unique express car trucks used under the C-15s but I was able to find a pair in resin a few years ago. F&C used to offer them separately but I don't see them any more.
I DID find this seller who includes a pair of (Bethlehem Car Works) KitBits #231 trucks. Might be worth a look and for about the same $ as the kit less trucks.

The resin trucks I bought are rather crude and fragile and don't include wheelsets.
Bob the Train Guy has them, too:
