That is correct. With the original Peckham motor trucks the Q's were too heavy even for the express track of the 3rd Ave. elevated. Therefore the maximum traction trucks of the IRT Composites were used since those cars were being scrapped. Note that the middle car of each set (trailer) retained its original trucks. Unfortunately the change in motors was not beneficial to the cars' performance (and they still had to run empty in the reverse peak direction on the local tracks).
