 Those trucks will serve you well. I have over 30 pairs running of the Overland caboose trucks. They perform very well. I usually replace the wheelsets with NWSL semi-scale wheelsets. Keeping the screws tight has never been an issue- just make sure the trucks are square (in tram) when you mount them. Loctite them if needed. It is funny- somebody mentioned the Atlas Trainman trucks. We needed that EXACT ( Bettendorf-style swing motion leaf spring with Friction bearings) truck for years and the only way to get a quality one was the Overland truck. I bought them whenever I could. I was going to have them tooled and bring them to market when I heard Atlas was working on them. I tried to get Atlas to sell them separately to no avail. When the Trainman caboose came out, I bought a dozen undecs for just the trucks. THEN, Atlas started selling them all alone. LOL- I have a bunch of "legless" cabeese now. The Atlas friction bearing truck is a beauty! I put NWSL .88 wheels and the KADEE brake beams on them. I bead blast them in my booth and they look great under brass and plastic cabooses that need them. I model the early 70's and this truck was common under most cabooses from most railroads. Keith Turley/ Details West
