    hello does anybody know how to repair an american flyer newer style wheel truck? It is the kind that is cast and held on by crimping. Is there a special tool needed? Or just JB Weld

    Did you know that Lionel wont sell the trucks by themselves anymore. I looked up the parts# and it says unavailabel. However, you can still order an entire boxcar frame and trucks and wheels. So basically an entire boxcar except it is missing the body shell. That is only $19. I would look into getting one of those and do a swap or something

    I'm not familiar with post-1960's AF. But one might watch swap meets, and see if someone has a damaged car or a parts box on their table.
