I guess on purely financial grounds you are quite right.  However these are cars I bought whilst working in the US quite a few years ago so for sentimental reasons I would quite like to get them converted.  Can you give me an idea which trucks might be in keeping with these 41 ft box Cars?
Thanks

Thank for that - I've contacted Bachmann here in the UK but they cannot supply replacements. Perhaps you may know, what is the best type of either Kadee or Intermountain trucks to replaces these with. 
Thanks

All the trucks are plastic mounted, but I think the fitting of screw mounted trucks and body mounting the couplers is a problem I can deal with.  I think my question now is whose trucks I should use as replacements. Some Kadee ones are available in the UK, but I am not sure which ones would suite my Box Cars. 

Thanks for the advice.  I was aware that the older trucks were questionable, not so the modern ones.  That said, whose trucks are best suitable as replacements, without too much plastic engineering?

Hi
I was talking to one of your UK reps at a model rail exhibition in Birmingham UK yesterday to ask if it was possible to get spares for your older Box Cars.  He was unsure, but recommended that I use your Forum to ask the question. I have a number of older 41' Box Cars, Item No. 43-1000-01, fitted with Talgo bogies (trucks I believe you call them). Is it possible to get replacement trucks to the modern specification.  Talgo trucks were, I believe a cheap option in those days and are now showing great signs of age.  Can you help?

Thanks
