I have a number of 18” Alum passenger cars and have recently pulled a few out of hibernation to find the side frames of the trucks are either broken or warped.  I know it’s a known issue that likely been discussed to death….

HOWEVER, my question is around the replacements that are being produced currently (part: 6105356050) and if anyone has had any issues with the replacements having zinc rot issues.  At $15 a pop I don’t want to purchase a slew of these only to have to replace them again in a few years….  Any comments/ feedback on recent replacement batches are appreciated!

Hello. This has been a problem with those cars for a long time.

I think you will find the Lionel number you referenced above is "out of stock". I just looked on the Lionel site but I may be wrong.

Anyway, I have been looking for replacement trucks (side frames) for a number of years. I have not had any luck finding any. I have 10 cars currently in storage. If you do, please share with us.

Thanks.

Donald
