Atlas: Converting 2 rail to 3 rail | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

VolphinOGR Forum Member

I bought an Atlas 1923 ARA [X-29] Steel Box Car in 2-rail that I need to convert to 3 rail. Does anyone know what trucks it should have? Andrews, Bettendorf or something else? I looked on the Atlas website for a parts breakdown, but they don't list this type of box car... Here's what my other ARA's have...

Looks like a Bettendorf to me...

The hard part of the conversion is removing the 2-rail coupler without breaking parts around it.
