Well the primary reason I wi***o change to new trucks is for the spring suspension they provide. I know it is probably overkill but I am using sectional track and I like the idea of having the springs to act as shock absorbers for all those joints. <br /> <br /> I do not have the time really to mess with laying flex track nor the resources monitarily for it and I want something other than the plain black plastic trucks on my rolling stock that can be easily converted to aftermarket trucks. <br /> <br /> The reasoning for the newer style trucks is supposedly they are supposed to be running the newer trucks as of 1993 from what I have been reading for safety reasons or something. That and they are the only 100 ton truck with three springs. The 70 ton versions have 2 springs however.
