I’m out of town this weekend, so the only work on my layout gets done in my head! But the advantage to getting out of town is visiting other hobby shops. And I found a Williams six car NP aluminum set. I thought I was in heaven till I noticed the trucks - they’re milky minty green! And they are molded inexpensively too. I’ve got to open my books, but I don’t believe the NCL even ran on silver trucks, I’m sure they were black. So if I make the purchase am I headed for a really painful job of truck replacement or painting - I am a three rail toy train operator, but my heart is still in St. Paul! (Lionel’s zephyr cars also had cheapened trucks if I remember correctly) the trucks from the 2500 series aluminum cars were the best! WhT are your thoughts guys?
