Roundhouse makes a set with 7' axle spacing. If the CP reefers are 7' these
should work, though as I mentioned previously the Roundhouse trucks aren't dead
on but work well in a pinch.
I have a pair riding under my kitbashed 4000 series 60' wood baggage car right
now until the proper 8' wheelbase ones arrive from Bethlehem Car Works.

Hi Doug,
I beleive that the roundhouse express trucks have 5'6" wheel base.
And this is not the correct size. Because the wheel base for these CP
reffers should measure 7'.
