If I remember correctly, when up grading older Accurail kits, you could fill the holes in the frame with plastic tubing and then mount the trucks with #2-56 screws, but I found that #6 screws were perfect to thread into the existing holes. I haven't built an accurail kit in a while so I may be remembering someone else's kits.
