I'm curious... If I were to to buy an MTH Railking coupler/truck assembly with the ETD on it, would I be able to replace the truck on a Lionel car with that one? Basically I was thinking it'd be neat to have an ETD on the TTUX train I will have running.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

Why not just buy an ETD from Tomar Industries for about $23 and add it to the last car in your train? Seems simpler to me as you would probably have to change both pair of trucks out on the car you have in mind. Over the years i've installed trucks from the various manufacturers (Atlas, MTH, WBB, Weaver & Lionel) on various brands of cars, but always in pairs due to each brand's bolster height and mounting design. Right now most brands of trucks with couplers are retailing for at least $15 a pair.

I may buy another (MTH) car with the ETD to make my one train (all MTH cars) longer, therefore I would have an extra ETD (I already have a car with one). So I thought I'd just take the extra and put it on the rear of my other train which is all Lionel cars
