Either AB or A3  ( can't decipher ) Ride Control trucks on 54000 to  54349 
and 54500 to 54999
 
Double truss type trucks on cars  54350 to 54499
 
I doubt that side frame pat numbers mean anything or would be of any help  
right?

Brian  and list;

The diagram book I have is the reprint available for 21.00  from the ELHS.
Unfortunately, it is only good until May 1st, 1952 and thus  does not have
the number series you refer to. Does anyone have a later  DL&W freight car
diagram book?

Sorry;

Brian and list;

The DL&W Freight Car  Classification book lists the details for these cars  
as
follows:

"100 cars have A.S.F. side frame pattern No.  21359-AE..."

"150 cars have Symington-Gould side frame pattern No.  TF-5318..."

No mention is made whether or not a particular batch from  the series got
which sideframes...

And, for those who may be  interested, the cars had U.S. Gypsum running
boards and Equipco hand  brakes... The models have Intermountain's plastic
USG running board; I  intend to replace mine with Plano #192 etched 
boards...
And I intend to  replace the Intermountain brake wheels with the vastly
superior Kadee  #2031, Equipco red oxide brake wheels. All of this will be
written up in  "From the Workbench"...

Hope this helps;

Jim Harr
