2 Railing a 3R GGD car...

CN_HoggerOGR Forum Member

I got a pretty good deal on a 3 car set of SP TTG Golden Gate Heavyweights(RPO, Bagg. & Combine) in 3R. I've already removed the lobster claw and 3R wheel sets and rollers, what would the best wheel sets to use? Also, I'm assuming I'll need some sort of bracket for Kadee mounting like my Daylight set has.

Before anyone asks why didn't I just get them in 2R, I missed out on the initial order and this was too good of a deal to pass up.

Thanks for any suggestions guys!

I've purchased replacement wheelsets for my GGD P70's from NWSL. And they already were 2 rail! Depending on how accurate your trackage is will determine what width wheel tread to order. .145 is the minimum width I'd use.

There are other ways to match, by measuring axle length, axle end configuration (plain, pointed, etc.) wheel diameter & tread width, and then searching for wheelsets at meets, online, etc.
