The Troop Sleepers used an Allied Full Cushion truck. There was Cape Line that made them but I haven't seen anything from them in a while. Walthers made the troop sleeper and kitchen car with the correct trucks. Might get a hold of Walthers and see if the trucks can be purchaced.

 Walthers # 933-1319 Allied Full Cushion trucks are the most appropriate if you are building them AS troop sleepers.

 In later years, these trucks were outlawed in exchange service and a lot of them were changed out. There were some of the troop sleepers that were built into express cars on several railroads. Most of these lost those Allied trucks.
