Annoying replacement trucksThought I'd replace some rapido trucks with microtrains versions only to find that the Bachmann wagons have a larger locating pin thingy and they don't fit!

How much larger?
Wouldn't it help to ream out the hole in the truck until it fits?

Just a little larger. I had thought of reaming them out, but as the spring design is slightly different to the Bachmann trucks and that the next wagons I get will probably be Atlas* ones, I think I'll leave them for now.
*Don't usually know the make till they drop through my letterbox.

What wagons are you trying to fit them to Poliss  some Bachmann are screws holding the trucks in ......... is it a case of the pin is too large to go through the truck hole ?
If so i use a round file twisting anticlockwise until its a good fit 
Anticlockwise as the file doesnt bite too much but is working more gradually.

Yes, it's the Bachmann screw type.
