There is a renewed interest in troop sleepers since Walthers is making them in HO scale. The BAR was famous for using surplus sleepers for cabooses and M of W cars. The allied trucks were notorious for poor riding qualities, but I guess the BAR crews learned to live with them. One example is shown here at Northern maine Jct in 1976.
