N&W Alco T-6 Modeling Problem

I recently obtained a used Alco Models HO version of the N&W Alco T-6. It
suddenly dawned on me, after my eye had passed over it dozens of times without
it registering, that they modeled it with friction bearing journals rather
than the roller bearings that the prototype had. My first reaction was to
figure out a way to use the Athearn roller bearing version of the AAR switcher
truck side frames, but that models the EMD style, which is, in its own way,
just as wrong. I've gone through the Walthers and Bowser catalogs trying to
find journal bearing caps that are correct for the N&W T-6, but so far I'm not
finding anything.
Since it's very probable that some other reader of this list has faced and
overcome this issue, HELP!
