As being a new modeler of O gauge hi-rail, I have started to accumulate different freight cars from various manufacturers.
I lean more toward the modern era and have several Lionel cars with beautiful fully sprung trucks,all metal frames and wheels. I also have some MTH that I like as well.
I have recently picked up some Weaver, Atlas and K-Line cars. However, I really do not like plastic frames and wheels, and I really don't like the metal "button" that is mounted just below the coupler that is used to tripped the coupler over a remote uncoupler ramp.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good all metal truck that is compatible with the Lionel/MTH knuckle coupler?
Something that is relatively easy to install.
I lean more toward models that are closer to the prototype rather than post war cars - however I must admit that I do have some post war Lionel that I will run on special occasions.
Thanks
