Notes:

For the first run of these cars (2012) the body sat too high on the trucks.

Benn Central Shops makes replacement bolsters for these to fix that issue. These are not listed on the Web; look up their contact information in the Resources section of this web site and ask for them.

Rich Gajnak decided to switch to American Models trucks (shown on the left). On the right is the original Lionel car.
