@MartyE posted:Let's pull a positive out of this review and push Lionel to go back to the same truck design before the thumb tacks came back. IMO those, which are on the old cars, had one of the most robust coupler made.
No one will ever know but , I wonder if there was some sort of issue with the tooling of Lionels industry leading trucks and couplers.
Or was this a cost cutting measure.
Do these "new" trucks and couplers resemble something that could have been aquired from another manufacturer like Weaver etc?
