Metal breakdown

There have been several topics on this. I believe, not positive, that MTH would replace the couplers. I think all manufacturers have had this problem at one time or another. My K-line EP5 fell apart like that. 

I had the same problem with an MTH heavy weight passenger car. I was the original owner so MTH replaced the trucks. The trucks had swollen to the point where I could not remove the screws that mounted the trucks to the frame. I had to send the frame with the broken trucks attached to MTH so they could remove the trucks.

Midge at MTH will replace the parts provided you have proof of purchase.

Well somebody purchased them.

In my opinion, they should replace the trucks as it is their problem and the right thing to do...customer service I believe is what that is called.  As John said above, someone made the purchase and I am sure did not buy into the fact that the couplers and trucks were going to fall apart....

So far I have not had any problems with any MTH stuff, engines or freight cars.

I had problems with K-Line truck assemblies falling apart, mainly their heavyweight passenger cars and their GG-1 Pennsy collector club truck sides fell off the GG-1 but it would still run, just looked odd.
