I like using the Intermountain metal wheels to upgrade my equipment. But this presented a problem when it came to trucks that were of poor quality such as the whole Front Range > McKean > E&C Shops > LBF linage of equipment. Why spend $3 on a pair of trucks just to replace the wheels. All I really wanted was the plastic sideframes. Well I found the answer over on the Accurail website. You can buy just the plastic sideframes for around a $1 per pair. The price per car goes down as you buy more. I bought the 50 pair package, and now have enough to replace 50 cars worth of trucks (actually they gave me enough to do 57 cars)
