Thank you both VERY MUCH for the help on the Lionel conversions- your explanations were simple enough that even "I" can grasp them.
Thanks again!

Thanks Al and Pete for your kind words.
John. The conversions you do are very nicely done.
We ran some Lionel "Metro" cars on the layout this week and they seem to be going fine our plans are to run them in three car sets the conversion to 2-Rail was a massive time consuming job something I would never recommend and impossible to describe I will take some photos though. This has been an exercise in time and money and patience, we are still wondering whether it was worth it! I hope my layout little people appreciate their new commuter trains!
My good friend and YVRR operator Bruce Temperly did most of the work without the Mill and lathe we could not have done it as the trucks using Intermountain wheels had to be made by hand the powered trucks are Stanton Drives from NWSL we still have to pull them apart for some passengers and driver maybe some weathering the second set is still to be finished then the next part is building the station platforms and trackwork (The easy part) .
