Model Railroading > Rapido Manor sleeping car issueDate: 01/24/23 07:05 Rapido Manor sleeping car issue Author: santafedan I am having trouble finding a solution for a truck issue. The B&M layout I built for Walt is not having problems with the track, as all other cars are doing fine.
This car has a "hang up" with the trucks. The wheels are in gauge. They are square with the track . (level) On a flat surface the flanges all touch evenly. I notice the electrical pick up wires are tight. They want to "center" the truck. This might be a part of the problem. However, there is a "catch" on something I can not see. With the trucks (still on the car) moving them left and right there is a catch. I can not find it. There is no extraneous pieces hanging down anywhere. Suggestions? Date: 01/24/23 17:07 Re: Rapido Manor sleeping car issue Author: cvrrr Are the flanges coming in contact with the body of the car? Or are the axles coming in contact with the frame of the car? I have had both issues. Good luck.

Well actually slip in more of a C shaped washer than an O shaped washer as I couldn't lift the trucks high enough to clear the post.
I should also note that the couplers we're low as well. I think I needed about 0.020" thick "C" Spacer These a body detail that interferes with a truck detail, either a break cylinder or vibration snubber.
