@Jim Berger posted:If your in the market for Lionel auto racks.......I've had better luck ( less derailments ) with the cars (1st run ) that do not have the rotating bearing caps. I tried to replace the trucks on the newer cars with some early ones, but the trucks and mounting screws are different.......the color on..those new NS auto racks bothered me so much ,I had them professionally repainted. I think your doing about everything right in the new basement, but you may regret not having a bigger basement in the future......thanks for sharing!
Jim,
Who did you get to repaint your autoracks?
