The main tender or the Aux tender?
Sounds like another case of zinc pest 
Do a search on the Forum for "zinc pest." The manufacturers are usually pretty good of replacing the defective parts, if there are good spares available. If the whole batch was bad and there are no spares, you'll have to source new trucks from another piece of equipment. 
If that was the RK Freight Set with RK size J, those trucks are long out of stock. They were very fragile and I have replaced many. You have to switch to a newer model Imperial J truck. Best to call Midge. G
Thanks so much for the info. it was the RK freight set. i will call midge. First time on this site. i have been out of the hobby for a while. Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful
