Does anyone know a simple way to replace a broken truck on a 30-7344 33K gallon tank car? As near as I can tell it looks like the whole bottom of the car must be removed to get at the screws that hold on the truck. 

Correct. On MTH freight cars the screws that hold the trucks are located INSIDE the car, i.e. the screw threads INTO the truck bolster from the top. Thus, the body of the car must be removed from the underframe (usually 4 screws, one located at each corner of the bottom of the underframe).

Thanks Arnold
