I'm trying to modify Athearn AAR old style switcher trucks into modern roller bearing trucks. Like these.

I've looked at Detail Associates #2804, 2805, 2806. None of them are correct. Smokey Valley has these sets:

676-24 AAR Switcher Side Frames w/Exposed Roller Bearing Journals -- Fits Athearn Switcher Power Truck HO 9.45

676-122 GE Locomotive Truck Exposed Roller Bearing Journals HO 4.45

Has anyone seen pictures of these sets??
 
Smokey Valley #24 should be correct. That's the one I used. I would use one more package myself, but how I'm contemplating swapping my SW1000 & SW1500 for the new RTR versions.
