So I got my order into Weaver too late to get any 3 rail trucks/couplers...so now I need another option.

 

I have two pieces of rolling stock that have 2 rail/kadee couplers, that I need to be 3 rail with standard clamshell couplers.

 

Are there any other companies that make something that is a quick switch or am I going to have to modify the car and/or trucks.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Both MTH and Atlas offer very nice 3-Rail truck assemblies which include the big coupler.

Maybe not quite a "quick switch", but it shouldn't be a big deal.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rumor has it that The Public Delivery Track bought all of Weaver's remaining diecast trucks and couplers.  You might try them.

This is nothing more than a rumor.  I talked to Public Delivery Track and they did not buy any weaver truck, because weaver had none to sell.  In fact they told me that weaver has more cars without trucks and were trying to get trucks from China to complete them, but it did not look hopeful.  Public Delivery Track also said they tried to get them from China as well but were having no luck.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!
