I have a question Steve. Will these "new improved" 2 rail trucks fit Weaver cars or only the redesigned Lionel cars?

i don't understand all the negativity towards Weaver trucks. I have never had a problem with them in either 2 rail or 3. True the cars themselves were underweighted but at least for boxcars that is very easily fixed with stick on weights. I added enough weight to bring the car up to NMRA specs and I had no problems with it whatsoever. Again in both 2 rail and 3.

Phil. I don't know. I will have to ask.

I have a question to verify what I suspect:

Is this car too modern for a steam engine? I think Yes. 

Fortunately I recently picked up an ABA set for D&RG. Those and my Galloping Geese are my only non Steam engines.   Now to convert them to Command Control...

This is a pretty good site. Seems like the hopper is 50's production.
