would someone please identify the trucks on the PRR REA expression car pictured below?

http://www.railroadcity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/reefer.jpg

and, also, kindly note if there is a version available in N Scale?

I could not locate them on spookshow (dot) com site.
I have a couple Roundhouse Kits I wish to make for the PRR

thanks, it is very appreciated!

sincerely,
Gary

another thread about the trucks being currently a shapeways offering

Hey there

They're PRR type 2D-P5. They were the standard passenger truck on the P70 and other PRR passenger/headend equipment.

They were at one time available in acetal plastic in N, but have been OOP for some time.

thanks Harry
yes I found the info on the site featuring the B60b PRR car
and then found a shapeways version, a little pricey, but
just glad they are available
thanks again!
sincerely

Alternate version:

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
