Reply to "New Altas 100T Trucks too small of centering hole"

AFAIK, the Lionel 86' boxcars take 36" wheels, so they would take 100T trucks.  All the one's I done recently all said 36" wheels on them.  Also, when you ream the hole to 13/64" the trucks sits over the lip on the lionel bolster perfectly, you can use the lionel truck mounting screw and get's you real close to the correct coupler height.    Sometimes you can use a flat washer too to get the coupler height exact, also depends on if you use the lionel gearbox or the standard Kadee gearbox.
