Some observations of prototype railcar trucks for weathering
#2
Some great examples, Charlie.  I don't have any HO scale freight cars with roller bearings, but I do try to paint all of the wheel faces with a mixture of Floquil black and green paint, which does look pretty-much like you show in the photos of the ones with babbit bearings.

The sideframes of the Delrin trucks, unfortunately, don't hold paint very well if they're handled too much, as the "shine" of the plastic does re-appear.
