After a few hours on the Fallen Flags web site I think I have decided what trucks to use. Since I am painting these for a freelanced line that ran east out of Cincinnati I looked at the passenger equipment used by railroads that ran through the Cincinnati Union Terminal. One smoothside baggage car pictured that belonged to the PRR definatly had 3 axle Buckeye trucks. The bearing caps are distinctive. All the smoothside coaches, dinners, sleepers etc. had 3 axle Commonwealth trucks. The center axle is really hard to see in most of the photos but judging from the few that were clear it is there. All the corragated side coaches where the trucks were in plain view appeared to be 2 axle Commonwealths. At least that is what I am ordering from the LHS. Thanks to everyone for the input.
