MTH F7 poorly painted blomberg trucks..... and speed recorder? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

i removed the trucks from my nyc ps3 f7 to weather the wheels and noticed that the paint was poorly applied And was taking away from all the nice details, in some cases clogging holes altogether. I wanted to see if it was just this run or a common problem. I scrapped away the impurities with a toothpick and the difference is night and day. Top one is from the factory.

I also noticed that 2 of the 12 (a-b-a) trucks had what I think is a speed recorder(?), but weirdly enough they were not installed on the leading unit. I want to install sander hoses and upgrade the speed recorder to a rubber wire that goes all the way to the frame.
