The trucks you're using your Cary shells are the AAR Type A that were used on S-4, not S-2 ALCO switchers. But some RRs like GN did put the AAR Type As on some of their S-2s. The stock ALCO S-2s came w/ the ALCO Blunt trucks. For us modelers the two truck types are the only difference between S-2 & S-4. Also most RRs had different number series between the two types.
