I used Roller Bearing 1030.
I just replaced the trucks on some Bachmann covered hoppers with screw on trucks. Used MT short shank trucks but has to use a round needle file...
As I was looking for something else, I found I have several structures that still need assembled. There are Model Power, DPM, and Kibri...
Not all N scale cars have talgo couplers. This car doesn't so your suggestions don't apply.
Bill, if you are unfamiliar with this car, how can you make any suggestions?
I'm glad I mentioned watching out for the buffers so you don't loose them. But the coupler spring can be just as elusive! I watched it go up...

Conrail SD40-2s Conrail C39-8s Better running PRR K-4 I'm satisfied with the freight and passenger cars I have.
