Except for the car¡¯s last catalog listing or two, the car was too high off rail head. ?I made a 3D printed replacement truck bolster that fixed that issue. ?It was mostly a concern for modelers using Kadee 802 or similar couplers and draft gear. ?Lionel changed the truck to fix it in the last catalog listing(s). ?
Another fix was to replace the AF trucks with AM, SHS/MTH or S Scale America trucks. ?
I like the rotating bearing ends, which is why I wanted a way to fix and keep the trucks on the cars.
?
The bolsters are still available. ?Go to my Benn Central Shops Facebook page to find out more.
