Dave...you probably 'caught' me on this one...I went back and checked the only two old Mantua cars I still have left, and it appears I must changed out the original trucks for Tru-Scale/ Silver Streak trucks maybe 40 odd years ago.From the look of them, I replaced the bolsters with Tru Scale units due to the other difficulty you mentioned.Thanks for clarifying and my apologies for misleading anyone...my memory is apparently fading fast. <br />By the way...I found an interesting thing...the Silver Streak metal insulated wheelsets taken from those old trucks are a great fit in 1960's Rivarossi tender trucks, and sure beat those old 'Riv.' out-of-gauge deep-flange wheels. <br />best regards / Mike
