Mine own I have rounded up about 5-10 sets of the MDC passenger/caboose trucks...They are more "correct, those freight trucks aren't the best for ride but they are cheaper...from a railroad stand point...

height If it is too high or too low, you can always redo the landscape onto whic this fits...set in on a slight hill, or into a light slump...Eitherway, beautiful.
