Anybody know MT trucks and couplers I'll need for my MDC/Roundhouse cars? A few are wood reefers a hopper and a few modern boxcars.PS these are kits.
Well on the Modern boxcars and hopper. MT's 1030, 1033, 1035 and 1037s will fit. You will have to pick which one is the correct time frame, (for those rivet counters...). I use the MT pins in place of the MDCs. I do modify the pins. I insert the pin into the truck centers and than pinch the end of the pin to oblong it. This will produce a little tension for the pins to stay in place. I WOULD NOT GLUE them in!!! On the older reefers. I would think the "Arch-bar" trucks be of the right era? Jerry G.
