My friend has a pair of Lionel "LTI" metal Bettendorf style trucks that he would like attached to a non-Lionel car. The Lionel threaded shoulder screws are not long enough to work in the new non-Lionel frame. I tried to determine what the threadsize of the Lionel trucks is but it didn't match 2-56 (went completely through) or 4-40 (seemed the right diameter, but thread pitch was off). I suspect it is a metric size... perhaps a #3.
Can anyone confirm what thread Lionel uses on their cast metal Bettendorf trucks? Thanks.
