Steve
I'll keep you in mind. I can buy any more cars for awhile.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Hey there,
I guess that's the problem with converting. Once you cut the tangs off you are comitted. Leaving mine on for now. Indoors it's mainly 4' dia curves so they need to stay on! Later eh...Brian.

matt they are not classics they are more modern cars.

brian i haven't messed with any trucks for years but i think if you take off the coupler and turn trucks around they might clear?
don't know about 4' dia curves.
