-------------------------------
The only Delta-style two-wheeled trailing trucks used on the N&W were under
the K-3 mountains.  As far as is known, only these ten locomotives and the
Y-6-6a-6b 2-8-8-2s used any style of cast two-wheeled trucks.

I have not seen a photo of one with a cast trailer truck.
