I am looking for some Buckeye trucks, the 3 axle Six wheel kind. I just received an e mail from scale city designs and they have it however the axle ends are the box journal types. I can work with it if someone knows a roller bearing end cap detail that I can place if I remove the journal boxes. Anyone. Anyone.... Bhueler, Bhueler, Bhueler?

PSC makes them with the roller bearing endcaps. I would point you towards their online catalog stuff but apparently they are redoing it at present so it is unavailable.
I model in 3rail. Would NWSL have the wheel sets for it?
Check out EBAY, I've seen some buckeyes under, o scale brass, and other subjects. Pretty good prices.

My bad, this is the 2-rail forum so I assumed. It's a brass kit with 2-rail wheels. But the sideframes are far enough apart to replace them with 3-rail wheels.
I think he was looking for rotating caps? The PSC trucks are bolted roller bearing covers - ideal for C&O tenders.
NWSL did make tinplate wheels, but I doubt they sold very well. Cheaper to buy a Lionel box car and steal the wheels?
PRR,
If your track has a T rail the trucks may run fine with the 2 rail wheels, provided you run no smaller than 048.
Will an O Scale Buckeye six wheel truck go around 24" radius with flanges on the center wheels?

Hard to say without trying it. A tender that has 6 wheel trucks should follow a fairly large engine and in my opinion would look pretty silly on 048.
