Converted the 2 BNSF orange autoracks today using the new Atlas 70-Ton roller bearing trucks and Kadee 746 couplers. Perfect ride height and coupler height. About the only thing I did differently than above is punch out the brass threaded inserts and used the black pins that come with the Atlas trucks. To do that I separated the upper body and the flat car portion of the car. Otherwise, I drilled and tapped 2-56 holes for the Kadee gearbox and added 2 1 oz black stick on weights, one on each end of the car.
