Adriatic posted:Is this a special E-clip size wise?
There is nothing special about these e-clips. Lionel uses these e-clips all over a number of different products and applications. They are used on either side of the thrust bearing on modern AC motors and on the bottom of the thrust bearings on postwar AC motors. They are often used to secure trucks onto the chassis for locomotives and cars. Thus, they are quite common and inexpensive. They fit onto the ~3/16 inch axle snugly. As others have mentioned, the smooth side of the e-clip is next to the truck while the rougher side is next to the wheel. If I use 2 e-clips, then the smooth side is next to the truck, smooth side is next to the wheel while the two rough sides contact each other on the interior.
However, the plastic bread clip comes free with a loaf of bread purchase.
