How do you remove plastic trucks without destroying them or can you? Thanks.
I’m not familiar with IHC passenger cars in particular, but I am familiar with cars of this quality. Can someone provide more info…?
There is a ‘friction’ pin holding them on. Pull this out and the trucks fall out.
Next question?
McHenry couplers and metal wheels improve.
IHC metal trucks ($24) and KD 36 couplers make BIG improvement.
I’d keep the plastic trucks. I have a set of UP (kinda obvious) cars from IHC. The wheels you can remove, but I adjusted the wheel width. If the wheels have two halves, there is a certain tool (or so I’m told) that can widen them, since they are too narrow (that is if you have trouble with derailments). I wouldn’t mess with the weight, and like Gibson said, the knuckle couplers will make an improvement.
Guess I better get some myself…
