Spoke too soon! Just got an email back from Red Caboose, I purchased very old kits (from very old stock) that someone had around for years. These kits had a molding problem, since these kits came without couplers, they must have been packaged before 1998! (Newer Red Caboose products come with couplers.) I wanted the Rath reefer, searched long and hard for it (out of production)... Found it at a good price, even. Sure, the price went up since 1997 or whatever! Anyhow, they will send me replacement trucks, which I assume will not have this defect. Well, all's well that ends well, my faith in Red Caboose is restored. Better get your RC products while you can, Walthers lists few in stock, expected delivery date "unknown". Sounds ominous. The Mather reefers are noticably shorter(36')than commonly availble stock, but the Rath and Mather (MUNX) are the only ones that I know represent prototypical schemes. <br />As far as Reboxx goes, the $10.00 Tool is almost as much as a two pairs of Kadee sprung trucks, so unless you have a lot of trucks.... hey, it could help on all of them, I suppose. Now, will I really dissasemble them all and give them a turn? Probably not. But, the Ertl cars either need the trucks replaced or the Reboxx wheelsets. But, they are "live-able" for now. <br />Dean <br />
