Recently, I purchased 7 new 20,000 gallon tank cars. The first one was actually beautiful, it was a Lifesaver Tank Car. It came with metal trucks, metal uncouplers, and all the truck side frames were painted and they were metal too. The trucks added WEIGHT to the car. Then Menards followed the Lifesaver Tank car with six very nice 20,000 gallon Tank Cars and they have changed. They are the Conrail, Army, NS, CSX, BN and Tide Soap. All of these cars come with PLASTIC TRUCKS.
Enjoy your trains, sincerely yours railbear601

Railbear601 the Lifesaver tank car came out simultaneously with the Tide, and several other tankers, in Aug. or Sept. It was the only one of the bunch with die-cast trucks. It was not like Menards changed anything after its release. So, it didn't follow the Lifesaver car with the others as you indicate.
