Reply to "Lionel ACF CenterFlow and PS-2 CD 4427 Hopper 3-Rail to 2-Rail Help"

I converted three 66-foot mill gondolas to 2-rail using the Lionel replacement wheel sets. They're only available in 33 inch and have code 145 treads. Lionel claims they'll convert the Lionscale and other Lionel cars. They come with replacement bearing caps and the installation was very easy. They did work nicely on the club 3-rail layout (Gargraves/Atlas/Ross) but did find a couple of spots where the gauge was a bit wide. These might work for your PS-2 4427's as direct replacements, but you'll still have to drill/tap for Kadees. I'm going to be doing a similar conversion down the road (I have a couple of them, too) and bought extra sets for this purpose. The train in the photos below are the converted cars being pulled by a scale-wheeled MTH GP38.
