I recently purchased some used Lackwanna coaches. I noticed excessive play on the trucks, around the wheel bearing area. I was shocked that Atlas O released this poorly designed truck. Any know cures for this excessive slop or should I just contact atlas O? I was considering "packing" the bearing with some cotton from a cotton swab to pick up the excessive slop.

There was a thread about those when they first came out Can't find it now
I doubt that a cotton swab would work. It would wear down and clog up the bearing.
I'd contact Atlas O.
Guy I know bought some of these in another road name, and had some terrible
truck issues. I forget the details. Understand that the design flaw was fixed.
To chime in: I believe that Atlas may have some help. I e-mailed them recently with a question and they answered promptly.
