Reply to "Need source for MTH pick-up rollers"

OK, I removed one of the trucks to see what was involved in replacing the rollers. I was able to press out the rivet and found that I had some Lionel rollers that were practically identical dimensionally with the MTH rollers. The only difference was the roller material. The MTH rollers are a bronze color and hopefully the Lionels are a harder metal.

The MTH rollers were severely grooved (worst I've seen on a train not 50-60 years old) but the wheels & trucks look great. I'll be running these on Super O track so a hardened roller might hold up better, anyway. Thanks again for all of your suggestions!
