I’m working on a tank car scratchbuilding project. The prototype car used three axle Buckeye type trucks. I purchased a set from Wiseman, that are basically the old Quality Craft castings from their heavy duty flat car kits. I built one out of the bag and it’s pretty losey goosey. The screws that came with it were useless. I am going give the car a test run with the trucks, hopefully later this week, but I was wondering if there is something to tighten these up a bit. I was thinking of gluing some plastic shims in the trucks so the cross arms fit a bit tighter. Has anyone had experience with these trucks?
