They all had sheet lead and said there were no restrictions on purchase.

For my layout, where cars don't run very large distance or terribly often, the resin side frames have been okay -- so far.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-47276186140740953912021-01-24T15:48:02.792-08:002021-01-24T15:48:02.792-08:00I drilled the inside of the F&C trucks to acce...I drilled the inside of the F&C trucks to accept the Tichy Train Group nylon journal bearing inserts to protect the resin sideframes from wear.

I believe I used IMRC 33" wheelsets in that car.<br />Jason HillNightOwlModelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500011869442181noreply@blogger.com
