Some time ago I acquired a Fujiyama/PFM brass set of 5 wood sided passenger cars in HO scale. They were tarnished and corroded, but cheap, and they cleaned up beautifully. Unfortunately, they had no trucks. Up to this point my modeling efforts have been confined to freight cars, so I could use some help. Would wood side cars have been in service as late as 1932? What kind of trucks would be correct at that era on these cars ? The set consists of two 80' coaches, one 80' open platform observation car, one 60' baggage, and one 60' RPO (I think...). I freelance but try to follow prototype practices for the 1932 era I model. Thanks!
