Very nice AG! Thanks for posting your conversion.What is the source for the brass wheel inserts?
I have three of the brass inserts left over from a CLW kit that I purchased from a guy at a train show several years ago. I called P&D and talked to Pat but he said he didn't have any. He did have some small 3/16" flanged roller bearings that are used on Weaver locos with the delrin truck sideframes.

I'm getting some P&D/Weaver drive parts to convert some Atlas dummy units into powered units.

I like your custom truck bolster too! Again, nice work!
