There are no trucks available for those cars, there are some that are close but the wheel base is off. I have been looking for something suitable in Plastic, Brass, Resin, Etc. and haven't found anything. This is a car that I hope some manufacturer will make one of these days but no one has stepped up to the plate except for brass which it will be hard to make a unit train with cars costing around $300 each.
Those con-sys trucks look like garbage to me. Maybe its just the photo's.
I've been looking for decent buckeye trucks myself and only ones I've seen that look good are brass ones. Greenway products had a nice set but now I dont see it on there site. I may try a set of precision scale buckeye trucks. They come as a kit. The athearn ones are good if you just want to throw on a pair of buckeyes. When I order a con-sys kit i want nicely detailed trucks.

I have a set of the Precision buckeyes and they are very nice. They roll very well for brass trucks.

How do the IM Ball bearing wheels work? Do the wheels turn independently of the axle?
I don't have any pix of them, but here is the link- http://www.precisionscaleco.com/
Just click on the "Trucks" link at the top of the page. Choose your scale, and choose steam trucks. The kit is brass and not hard to build at all. If you wanted to you could also add IM ball bearing wheels and have them roll even better.
