Anyone have some or know where I can get them? I need 4. Photo attached courtesy of Dr. Greenberg's new book, page 18. Thanks!

Contrary to belief, these are very, very hard to find. It took me almost one year to find some. You might should try the folks at Hennings Trains. Best to call and ask for Harry Jr ("The Old Man") Second best solution would be York for sure.
Yes, very difficult to find these trucks not attached to a car, let alone in good condition.
Late #10 trucks with the slots punched in the bolster can be found, but the repro pickups to fit these trucks are no longer made. The O gauge repro pickups are too short.
You may be better off looking into modern MTH #10 trucks with pickups. I don't know if those trucks ride at the same height as originals.
Another suggestion is to use one or two trucks with pickups and run a wire to the other cars you need to illuminate.
Good luck.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I had no idea they were so scarce. I am looking to attach the trucks to a few G-scale passenger cars. I like the look of the #10s, and I had a few of the late ones with slots in my parts box, but I could really use anything that has a pickup. Maybe 200 series would be an easier find? Or did McCoy have trucks with pickups? thanks again.
And it turns out Hennings does have them! Thanks again.
