I recently purchased several cars and am noticing that the couplers are fixed to the trucks. Meaning that they do not swing left to right independent of the truck. This seems too cause binding and eventual derailment on turns. The trucks seem to be riveted to the car. 

Do I find a new truck and drill out the rivet?  I am hoping a better truck will be screwed on rather than riveted.  

Can anyone help me With a part number for a better track and any other fruitful advice.

 With a part number for a better track and any other fruitful advice.  If needed I am prepared to box them up and sell them even though they’re nice looking cars they cause derailing problems.

Thanks in advance
