That's a tough one.
Without a chassis ( with part # ) it would be a guess.
I've never looked to see if trucks come with part numbers.

Yes it's hard to say for sure, but I would say based on the length and the 3-axle trucks that it's a U28/30/33C.

That was the genus of Irv's later blue box and RTR products. Except for the small switchers all the motors were the same. The road unit B trucks were the same and the C trucks were the same. Only the frames, truck side frames and drive line length were different. The drive train could be a C truck U Boat or any of the EMD SD UnitS. You could pull a truck off of a Sd40 and put it on a U36C then swap the side frames.
Regards, John
I'm not a genus like Norman Einstein <> Babe Ruth
