Thanks, Andy. I find that sometimes Lionel 2-rail wheels are easier to work with than Atlas and vice versa. It just depends on the project.
The Lionel wheels work great on the 86’ boxcars and 89’ autoracks and the Atlas wheels work great on the covered hoppers from Lionel & MTH.
The 2-rail conversion kits are sold by Lionel. They make 50T and 70T (6-84463). Each kit includes insulated wheels and plastic bolsters for either LionScale or Lionel scale freight cars. The 70T kit also includes roller bearing caps specific for the 2-rail wheels. There are also metal contacts for any lighted cars like cabooses.
I’m off work Fridays so I decided to convert another autorack. I used up the last of my Kadee 746’s so the next email I get from MicroMark I’ll order at least 3 more packs since I have 6 more autoracks to go. I bought 2 each of BNSF, CSX, Ferromex and Norfolk Southern. Since these are so easy to do (45 minutes) I’ll look to get a few other roads.
