Trucks/Couplers

[fatbob]

I'm trying to put some wheels under an undecorated combo passenger/baggage car that I bought on ebay.  I just received two trucks with knuckle couplers that I also bought on ebay, but the couplers are not long enough to stick out from under each end of the car.  I looked and see that they are "freight" trucks...could that be my problem?  Are the couplers on passenger trucks longer or what??

Thanks for any help...bob

Yep, you got yourself a pair of freight trucks.

You might try swapping out just the wheels themselves.

Freight truck left. Passenger truck right.

Thanks guys...the difference is obvious even to my untrained eye!!  Will get some passenger trucks and we'll be on our way.

thanks again.
