Reply to "Atlas 2 rail to 3 Rail Boxcar?"

Converting a 2-rail car to 3 is not "upgrading", it's downgrading. You're taking a car that looks close to real with scale wheels and body mounted couplers and replacing them with oversized wheels and couplers that are truck mounted.

The trucks are the same, it doesn't matter if they are 2-rail or 3. Just replace the 2-rail wheels with 3. I have lots of 3-rail wheelsets and claw couplers leftover from 3-rail to 2 conversions. Now that's an upgrade.

It’s neither an upgrade or a downgrade. It’s a simple change from one to the other to meet preferences. Same for converting to Kadee couplers.
