Reply to "Continuing Saga of Lionel's poor new truck design"

Yeah, we are at 6 pages. I myself thought there was something maybe on Gary's "Milk Car Topic" about Dave Olson testing the milk cars with no issue. At first I thought it was here, but didn't see anything. Heck, maybe I am thinking of something else where someone had chimed in about them testing them back at the office and they didn't come up with the exact issue, but noted something was a bit off. I don't remember but here we are.

If they were going to release a statement on these, everyone should have heard it somewhere by now. I feel that we aren't going to get one. Like I had said when the new catalog had hit, I wasn't ordering any rolling stock, and I haven't other what I had already ordered, and the Metca Milk Car offering. That is it. I have been looking at other things recently that haven't been Lionel, and mainly rolling stock items. I haven't purchased any as yet, but with other stuff I am looking into, I will most likely go that route since either the couplers/trucks will be an issue, or it is something that I cannot find that Lionel has produced before and probably will not produce for a good number of years to come.

That said, what can we do other than preform surgery, send back, self them, or hope they don't detach/crash/explode/implode/or work as they were supposed to magically like Don got lucky with. You got me on that. Whatever news is to come, it is taking it's sweet time and most of us are already too hot on the burner. With that, I am off to bed. I hope that we get some news, but as most of us already said, "nothing yet as it looks like nothing is coming". Good night all.
