Reply to "Menards tank Car with UpGraded Trucks"

Don,

Now that Menard's has upgraded the trucks on their Military rolling stock, I just purchased 2 more US Army Box Cars and the very nice Deuce and half Flat Car, might just get another flat Car at the end of the month.

Daryl,

Yes the the rivets are easily removed and the MTH Primer trucks match up perfectly with the hole for installation. Be careful removing the shells that cover the one rivet,

I used a very small screw driver and pried them off a little at a time, then used a drop of super glue to re-install them after putting the new trucks on the Flat Car. The Menard's Flat Car looks and runs quite well with the new MTH trucks. I then installed the old Trucks on each corner of the Flat Car, for some added Flat Car weight, it runs smooth as glass now.
