Stu,
Do you mean that Lionel is going to replace the trucks/couplers with corrected ones when the new parts arrive in "April 2022"? No cost to those of us that had purchased cars with this issue? And if so, do you know the procedure to get replacements?

Ray,

If you're referring to the METCA PRR and LIRR Milk Reefers made in 2020, the answer is yes, there will be replacement trucks/couplers (not sure which) available free of charge to those who purchased a PRR/LIRR Milk Reefer from METCA. I'm not saying these parts will be available for Lionel's cataloged cars, as I only deal with the production of club custom runs and have nothing to do with Lionel's core line.

The procedure for METCA customers to get free replacement parts will be announced when the parts are here.
