Reply to "Help: 2 Rail lightweight passenger trucks."

NWSL may make wheelsets that do not need drilling.    Most passenger cars use 36 inch diameter wheels.

As for the offset kingpin, that is done to allow use on sharper curves.    Walthers did this for decades on their 6 wheel trucks.     Weaver made an injection molded version in Engineering plastic (delrin is a brand).   These roll very very well but the sides are one piece castings.   You might find these at train shows or perhaps from an online vendor.    Walthers made and now Scale City Designs make kits for these type trucks, I don't know the prototype..   Theirs are diecast zamak and the castings are generally quite sharp.   Assembly is simply screwing the bolster to the side frames.
