Does anybody know in which year was the very last year that archbar trucks 
and/or truss rod cars were allowed in interchange service? Some information I 
read recently indicates it was somewhre in the late '20s, but I'd like to 
know if that was the absolute final time or the begining of the legal 
phase-out with the real deadline being later.
   I'm asking because I'm trying to determine the proper era for the layout I 
want to build which will include a fair amount of trussrod/archbar equipped 
cars. I need to figure out which engines and other things would be 
appropriate. I have a large collection of kits from Central Valley, Ambroid, 
LaBelle, Silver Streak and others that fall into that era but need to know 
what steel-constructed cars are appropriate to mix in with them.
