Hi,
Earl's post clarifies things much better than I can. What I call "Andrews" are multi-piece Andrews (according to Earl) and what I call Bettendorf are actually single piece Andrews! I never knew that.
What I had intended in Live Steam was to make several truck patterns for 2.5" scale. I tried to get it clear in my head about what trucks were used where. My summary is:
Prototype Truck Table:
11/30/93 This log started. All wheels are 26" solid unless otherwise
noted.
1/16/02 updated Bettendorf truck data from NGDF info.

This is not 100% correct and archbars of the same axle spacing are not necessarily the same between different railroads. D&RG(W) and RGS are in several cases but SPNG 4' 6" archbars are not the same as ET&WNC archbars.
I hope this helps out.
