Typical D&RGW narrow gauge cars run 4x7 bearings, with a few running 4 1/4x8 bearings. I'd say the standard (3000 series boxcars, flats, gons, drop bottoms) is the 4x7 bearings, thats most of what I see, the 4 1/4x8's are far more rare, and as such, are much harder to find. I do see those used a lot on ex white pass equipment, coaches and container flats.
