This is regarding the tender trucks that go with the 1890's Rogers 4-6-0 and 4-8-0's (and maybe others) . . .

Does anyone have any tricks to get these to conduct better? Or methods they would recommend for taking them apart and putting them back together?

I have one pair of Precision Scale Company trucks that make all of my Rogers locomotives run better, but they are not the correct period for the tender and I'm thinking there must be a way to get the Tyco-Mantua trucks to perform a little better. I've done all the usual recommended stuff, but to be any more aggressive, I'm going to have to disassemble the trucks and it would be interesting to see what you other folks have done about this problem.

Thanks,
Barry

HEADS UP . . . I posted this in the Tyco Motive section as well just to make sure I reached anyone who might be interested. That posting has gotten a reply, so I would suggest going to the Tyco Motive section. Thanks. Barry

Just making sure they're clean does a lot.
