John,
Bolster pins are the plastic "push pins" that attach the trucks to the underframe. MTL's have a slot in them (you can easily pull then out) where as the Marklin's are part of the truck so just imagine the center of the truck's frame bottom.

Please explain the term "bolster pins" so I can paint mine. I would like
orange & maroon, since my family has some history with the Milwaukee Road.
