I have a question regarding the 40 ft tank cars. A friend in my model railroad group picked up a Tyco tank car in a train show junk box. While looking at the car, we found a hole in the brake wheel area. This is not where the brake wheel goes, but underneith it. Looking at other cars in person and on ebay showed the same hole. Is there something that should go there, or just how it's made? Thanks.

Just took a look at all of my Tyco 40Ft tank cars. All have the hole you are talking about - so - yes -it appears to be in the mold - Great observation and find
