I have one Amtrak Superliner and the trucks keep falling off. Either the kingpin is too short, or too small. I haven't tried to figure it out yet.

I replace those plastic thingies with screws as soon as possible - which sometimes means as soon as they fal out. :-)

Dear Sir, If you mean the 50-foot old-time cars, then my opinion is they are very good. They are a lot like the old AHM cars in appearance but with much better trucks & wheels. Cordially yours, Gerard P.
Use a screw to mount the couplers. I used masking tape to mask for some spray painting to rename a car and when I pulled the tape off, the original paint came off, too. Never had that happen with a painted model before. They were not helpful in suggestions for paint to repair the damage, either. I noticed that the Pullman has the same window pattern on both sides. Not sure many Pullmans were like that. Gene ABV61-1043.001.HCB
