You need to visit your friendly local Lionel retailer and purchase a set of die cast sprung trucks, p/n 6-14078. If they’re not available locally, you can order them from any of the big mail order retailers, like Charles Ro.
You then need to remove the tender shell-it comes off by one screw at the front.
Then, drill or punch out the rivet holding on the rear truck, freeing it. Secure the replacement truck in place using the supplied self-tapping screw.
Replace the tender shell, and you’re done.

If equipped you can remove the second coupler from the caboose and put it on the tender. that way you can start enjoying the memories. By the way, you might want to get a copy of Classic Toy Trains at the book store.
