I see the new release is on MBK....

Anyone know if they are still gluing the underframes in place?

Has anyone had a problem with the flanges of the wheels supplied with these bottoming out on the floor of the gondola? I have two that, for lack of a better term "drag" and it's caused by the flanges contacting the frame.

I bit on the Railgons and EJ&E's.  I remember those EJ&E gondolas were frequent travelers on Conrail train PIMO carrying coils from Gary to Fairless for further processing.  Now I just have to lower them.  Thanks.

Yep, I've seen that....

But I remove the underframes and replace them with an assortment of others in the scrap box.  The big issue is that the last run was so solidly glued together you can rip the bodyshell apart removing it.

BTW  Atlas Evans underframes,  slightly trimmed on the sides are perfect replacements.  But they are not listed as an available part.
