@Chuck K posted:Boy, as much as I would love to have an NYC set, I swore off buying any more of AM's heavyweights because of the poor trucks. I have very, very few complaints about AM's products, but those flimsy trucks on the heavyweights are not good. I have hunted and gathered a few old brass passenger trucks over the years but not enough to replace a full set.
Thanks for the heads-up on the AM Hudson, Chuck. Luckily for my wallet, I run mostly Hi-rail, but it is DC… tempting.
I have heard all sorts of things about the AM heavyweight’s trucks, but I haven’t had a problem. I remember one did come apart years ago, however I reassembled it and have not had a problem since. That was on the first run of the PRR set.
