I believe the two PA's came home from Mexico minus trucks. If this is correct, can anyone tell us what are being used on the NKP unit Doyle McCormick is restoring? My curiosity is wondering. I don't recall seeing anything about this.
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Yes, that is correct. Both units were returned from Mexico on flatcars.

First, his name is spelled "McCormack", i.e. he is Irish and NOT Scottish!
Second, He purchased trucks from FM "C Liners" up in Canada, and they are almost the same as ALCO PA trucks.

I guess you haven't been looking/reading in the right places.
Thanks in advance for the answer.

What happened to the original trucks while the units were in Mexico?

Who knows what happened in Mexico, after the units were wrecked? The Mexican Railroad system probably cut them up or tried to use them under something else.
