No they are not sprung. They have non functional leaf spring detail in the casting. I have set running on a box car that work just fine.

Non sprung trucks worrk well for riding cars, espically for us heavier guys, less side to side tiping. Add a cushion to the riding car seat for comfort if you do not like the feel the track bumps.

you really DO NOT WANT sprung riding cars.

Best riding cars I have even used are just like this - center pivots, loose bearings.

Many were made with wood side frames (Purintan style), and hold up for decades.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.
