What type of trucks are these?

They look like a dogbone or dumbell. Ive seen them on old models. 2 axles, they look like a dogbone or dumbell. Does anybody know what im talking about?

No, the trucks im talking about are freight car trucks, not locomotive trucks.

Can you link us to a photo? Freight car trucks have changed little since they were invented.

Fox trucks, older design, pressed steel. Popular in the late 1800's, and on narrow gauge equipment.

Like these?

No Problem! Try a broader search next time, railroad truck types maybe.
