[quote user="Trainman440"]BMMECNYC The con of not following the directions is that it probably wont work. The centerhole of the truck is essentially unusable due to the wheels being permanently installed in the truck sideframes (center wheel axle blocks center mounting hole on truck). Actually, the center axle (and ONLY the center axel) can be removed after assembly of the truck. I just did it. You gotta be carefull. I am adding lights, and other details to my cars right now! Because the center hole is usable, I was curious to which hole I should use. [/quote] You learn something every day.  I was not really interested in risking ripping the truck apart to use that screw hole, but I'll give it a shot anyway. [quote user="Trainman440"]BMMECNYC This results in a car that may run on 24" radius curves. My curves fall betweem 23-26in radius, and I have reliability problems on the tighter curves. Branchline cars like 28" or better (with some work they can be made to work on 24-26"). Walthers will work on exactly 24" radius (with 6 wheel trucks), slightly less than 24" with 4 wheel. My Branchline cars can run on 20" Radius curves which are on my layout. They run better than my Walthers cars! Even though obviously they look horrible on such tight curves :/[/quote] I assume that is using the center hole?  I will have to try that.
