Upgrading trucks on Weaver 50 foot box car?
Posted by Boyd on Sunday, February 12, 2006 12:06 AM
Any suggestions as to whick trucks I should use to upgrade from the plastic ones that came with my BN 322207 boxcar? The current trucks have non operating couplers.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

Yes, Weaver diecast trucks are about $9.00 a pair and it's an easy swap. Just 2 screws and your done!
