Hi all, I cant seem to find a certain tool I think it is called a truck tuner. You place it between the trucks where the axle goes to ream out the slot for the axle. I looked at walthers and my LHS. Can some one help? Thanks Dave

Making up for the high cost of gas.

What ever the cost, it’s one the greatest “new” tools! When not using it, be sure to put it back in the bag. I bought one at my LHS, tuned up a bunch of trucks and was able to return a dozen cars back to service on the layout and left the tool on my work bench. A couple of weeks later I needed it again and couldn’t find it, so I had to buy another one, for a total cost of $20 now.[sigh]
