I managed to finagle a front truck this afternoon.

Another modeller out of my club gave me an old brass pilot truck. The Wheel set is larger than the original but it fits okay just the same. I drilled a new hole to match the original and screwed it in.

It's starting to look like something now. After I finished that I did a quick check on the boiler and cab fit and found that the yoke was too tall for the boiler to sit down properly.
A bit od work with my dremel on the yoke:
