Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

The springs appear to be mirrored, based on one of the Facebook photo I saw.  They should be identical.

 :?
   shouldn't a Pullman have 6 wheel trucks ?
  Top equalized preferably ?
   those look like trucks under a lot of P-70s.
   Edit -- am OK with using the above pic as an example of
           how the trucks look.

Is FUD really strong enough for a truck frame?

I'm with you on this...  The 2D-P5s were found under P70s and B60bs, among a few others, but I thought Pennsy Pullmans kept their 6-wheel Pullman trucks...

Yeah it's likely not prototypical. I don't know the story behind them other than "let's display the trucks under a model."

Anyone know which FVM wheels match the 36" MTL wheels?

The .540 axle fits MT cars...that being said, I've only replaced wheelers in the MT two axle trucks and the older 3 axle trucks...haven't changed out the wheelsets on the newer, off center three axle trucks.

The 36" wheels have the .540" axle length as well.

Thanks, Bryan...
I need to do the same thing to the new cars...something I actually need to do to my whole heavyweight fleet. I've put all the work into bashing, building the most correct cars for the ATSF fleet; I need to finally go the extra length and do the proper 'lowering' and include the proper wheelset dimension...
Do the Fox Valley 36" wheels pop into the new MT offset center trucks without the rubbing that the sets have on the Rivarossi-Atlas trucks?

and on the thread topic, these seem like the only option for building new PRR B60bs , considering that the supply of American Limited trucks has dried up...if GHQ would release their recent PRR express reefer trucks as a separate item, we'd have another source...I'm 'ok' with the mirrored springs!

I haven't had a problem using FVM wheelsets in the MTL P-S heavyweight trucks.  Haven't upgraded the diner yet but I assume the "inside dimensions" or those trucks match the P-S trucks.
