Does anyone have easy access to the bolster bowl dimensions for a Baldwin Lima Hamilton S12 switch truck? While I realize that I could jack up the locomotive to get this information, that it somewhat out of the question at this time.

While these locomotives use a "standard" AAR switcher truck, the bolster bowl could easily be different than that used by another builder. ALCO trucks have a bowl diameter different than those under our Lima-Hamilton. Obviously I'm hoping to find that they are the same size as used by EMD, or by Lima-Hamilton in order to make a truck swap feasible.

David,

Did you ever find the info on this one? I've been wondering about the same thing on the FM trucks as well.
