Nice thorough demonstration Gary.
Same issues with the newer steelsided reefer trucks.
At least the paint colors aren't horrid like they are on the reefers.
Imo. Too much time is being spent on Lion chief whizz bang # whatever and not enough is spend on quality mechanical components.
It's a good thing there's loads of the well made older rolling stock on ebay, for a fraction of the price of new.
What a shame, and you patiently waited 4 +years for delivery.

Rick, or others... when did they start using these couplers precisely do you know? I have had the same issues with recent freight cars. Those trucks are terrible. I will stick to older stock, but wondering if you know when that cutoff would be?

Thanks!

Ben

Also... thanks for that great review!
