AMS make quality freight cars, but I would like them to roll a bit better. I know installing bearings into side frames is nothing new but can someone suggest a bearing and where I can purchase it (on-line would be preferred).
I have tried sourcing bearings locally but all have an overall diameter larger then the hole in the side frame with original bearing removed. I did pick up four of the slightly too big ones and plan to drill out the side frames, but I really don’t to do this if I can avoid it.
I’m 99.99% sure I will need to turn down the axle ends, but that’s no big deal.
