I picked up a sweet still-in-the-plastic-wrap-and-foam-inserts Weaver boxcar. Sadly, the trucks had an issue. Upon cutting the plastic holding them in place I quickly discovered that the trucks, in particular one of the sides of the truck, was not secure and thus do not hold the axles and wheels in place. I'm thinking some model cement will fix that problem real quick, but was curious if that is a good or bad idea. I'm so confident that I'm not the first to come across this issue that I'm not even going to ask if someone else has run into this issue. These are the Weaver plastic trucks and couplers. There is nothing broken, so to speak, they are simply not secure. I've read on other posts that these aren't very good trucks to begin with, but without a handy replacement, I'd like to at least run this car. On that note, though, what is a good replacement truck for Weaver's?
