Thank you Len, that is a big help,so you think they are IHC/AHM .and they just have the wrong trucks & couplers. do you have any idea where i can find the correct trucks? will any other brand fit? or should i just give them up! remember all my stuff has been in storage for many,many years. i would really like to fix them up! I think they will add some focus to my layout! I have a pair of Life-like U.P. FP40 engines to pull them.one powered & one dummy. well i think they are FP 40's  thank you again LEN for your expertise on this matter!

hey i think it would be a good idea too! my youngest son just bought me the EZCommand system and 3 Bachmann decoders for my birthday,and  i have questions too! because my layout is so large, do i need to buy a booster also? i haven't hooked it up yet for that reason.

HI, len the trucks that you sent link for look exactly like the trucks on these cars except the peg hole is back from center in sted of towards front!

OK, i'm not computer savy i'll have to get one of my sons to try it! thanks for info.!but if you go to my Facebook page you can see them all in the Whiskey Hollow album, the last 40 pics are of these cars! oh and i tried to push the pins in further but it didn't do it! they still lean! i am working on the second slot car track now! the long road course.

sorry guys this site won't let me send my pics,  i don't know what to do!!! i just recently retired,after being out of this hobby for about 32 yrs ,i started collecting Ho train stuff about 35 yrs ago now i have time to unpack every thing, and have started a very large layout with trains & Ho slot cars together. i have 7 separate rails & two slot car circuits! all on one layout called Whiskey Hollow

but they lean and fall of track before even moving something is wrong with trucks or mounting?and way too far apart!! i know about weighing down the cars i had to add weight to my Amtraks
#11
the track is not the problem all my Amtrak trains work fine on them,and the radius is over 22 on all my curves, it is how the trucks are mounted or just plain wrong! ???

HELP !! can anyone help me identify these cars, i purchased 6 Union Pacific diner  cars from an estate auction recently they have 4 wheel trucks with very long couplers, the window glass & roof come off as one piece, there are no identifying marks or numbers any where . they are yellow W/ gray roof and car# is 328  on all of them. when placed on track& coupled the cars are almost 1 1/2 inches apart and lean to the side then then fall over! what is wrong? wrong trucks&couplers?  :(
