Hi All, I'm in the process of adding the missing bolster to 35 of the early Atlas release of this car. Can anyone recommend a correct and good replacement truck for this project? Thanks, Bryian Sones

That link was the first one I came to so it maybe too powerful but you get the idea of what they look like. They are fishing magnets. You can find less powerful samples elsewhere on ebay. Bryian Sones

Yes, Tim and Charles you are are correct regarding the ACR rivets . I was not necessarily referring to that effect. That's why I didn't call the alternating rivets out in that manner. As Tim mention t

Drop Grab Irons
I only upgrade hoppers with brass wire. Drop grab or straight grab? It depends on the prototype. I've been doing it since the Kato and Bowser 70 ton ACF covered hoppers first hit the market many years
