Thanks for those photos, William -

Just what the doctor ordered! While a good deal of the K-37 design was based on drawings of / reverse engineering the K-36's, the frames behind the fourth pair of drivers are distinctly different. I wonder to what extent the differences between the swing hangers on a K-36 trailing truck versus the sliding plates on a K-37 trailing truck accounts for the rumored differences in their tracking on sharp curves?
