[quote]QUOTE: Out of curiosity, Avondaleguy, how do you install the M-T trucks on the Bachmann cars? [/quote] GOOD QUESTION! You know what, I definitely misspoke here. Because, to date, the only trucks that I have replaced have been from older Model Power or Atlas (old Atlas) or other manufacturers who used the plastic kingpin for truck attachment. Bachmann, however, uses a screw through the bolster, which doesn't fit the opening on the M-T trucks. It's just been my dumb luck that I had not encountered this difficulty before. So, I'm not sure what the answer is going to be. I might cut the bolster entirely off of the car body, and then see if the screw will hold the truck; probably this will need a washer. I think there is one that comes with the M-T trucks pack, and maybe this is its purpose. I can't imagine that this is a new issue; the way M-T packages so many different styles of kingpin, I'm almost sure one of them is intended for Bachmann stock.
