    Hi Everyone,

    I just got a new microtrains autorack, and I have been struggling with the trucks being excessively stiff. They don't seem to go back to neutral position well after a curve, causing it to jump the track. Any suggestions?

    Remove them. Lubricate the pivot, and the strap that keeps the coupler from sagging. Reattach them, being careful not to cinch them up too tight.

    Thank you! I just ordered some grease 'em a couple days ago, so hopefully that will help.
