It might be worth mentioning again that the older double-ended electric locomotives of the Dutch Railways (these sort of resemble a two-cab FA with pantographs, though I doubt if Alco had anything to do with their construction - they may all be retired now) have trucks that closely resemble those of Alco PAs, DL109s and Alco export "World" locomotives. The most closely resemble the latter, with three brake cylinders per side. The ones I saw had spoked wheels

Bob,

There is enough material available to make a decent replica of the trucks...should someone be willing to write the check.
