Looks great Mario! Your awesome work never ceases to amaze. I believe the special ordered parts from MTH Electric Trains you requested shipped in yesterday.

How exciting!

These are the correct trucks for the MHC cars!

Only the 1400-series cars had the express trucks, and the 1500-series cars, like the MTH numbered cars I have, have the same trucks as the Viewliner, Superliner II and Horizon cars.

1400-series:

MTH MHC:

MTH Superliner trucks:

MHC Mail car at Utica.

notice the original steps and handrails, compared to the above later version.

thanks!

PS - The MHC trucks were platinum mist.
