There's nothing wrong with the Milk Reefer trucks. The trucks are perfectly fine. It's the couplers, and just the couplers, which don't consistently work as well as they could.
Please just give Lionel time to announce their plan. I think most people will be pleased at how simple their plan will be.

I’m going to respectfully disagree here and let this video speak for itself. This is a Ross 072/054 curve switch. I have run hundreds of pieces of rolling stock through this switch with no derailments. I’m not sure exactly what’s causing this but it appears to be a combination of the fixed couplers and narrower wheels. I’ve sent this video to Lionel also.
