[quote user="Burlington Steam"] I assume these are non insulated wheel sets, you might try slipping a red or gray kadee disc made for adjusting truck height on the axle ends to keep the wheel back from shorting against the side frame. [/quote] Thats a good thought.  I could even glue it to the inside of the side frame to see if that works.  Ill let guys know.  The RTR was a past tense thing, they dont do that anymore from what I can tell.  It was a Pb5n coach.  It is currently riding on some old roundhouse rollerbearing trucks I picked up from an estate sale. What is the best method/practice for modifying walthers trucks?  I bought a set of 920-2124 Pullman 8' wheelbase trucks (friction bearing). They came with 2 different combination spring/bolster mounting point pieces.  I put in the one that stuck up the most, but it misses the branchline bolster by about 1/8"  The issue here is I dont want the cars looking like they are on stilts with couplers hanging off of large extensions.
