To convert my Atlas O 3-rail rolling stock to 2-rail with Kadee magnetic couplers with perfect operation, I ....

 - purchase complete 2-rail truck assemblies (from Atlas ?) and change them out. Easy as that?

 - use the excellent Kadee conversion topic thread here on the OGR Forum ..... Step by Step Photos: How to Put Kadees on Atlas Cars  .... that was written by Pete Kruimer (with additional pointers from Hot Water and others).

Thanks. I'm thinking of a change in life, and building a small 2-rail layout.

purchase complete 2-rail truck assemblies (from Atlas ?) and change them out. Easy as that? Yes that easy Also you can find them on the bay too.  The process is the same for MTH rolling stock, buy MTH 2r Trucks. For Weaver you can go with  Athearn or Walther s          http://www.athearn.com/Product...aspx?ProdID=ATH90821 or https://www.google.com/#q=athe...+trucks&tbm=shop 

Hope this helps
