I received a set of Lionel NYC Heavyweight coaches yesterday the I got from an online train auction site. This set was new, never opened and when I unpacked the coaches 5 of the truck were broken, in pieces. I like this set and got it for a great price BUT I now need to find some trucks. I looked Lionel’s site and their replacement parts are $35 each and they’re made of the same zinc that I’ve heard are bad news. What would be some alternatives? Are there any manufactures making something that would work as replacements? Thanks.
