convert a lima coach o 2 rail to 3 rails

Another tip, the bogies (trucks) on the BR coaches are the same as the Lionel Harry Potter coaches. I purchased some from Lionel spare parts quite cheaply and swapped them. They also have the centre rail pick up to power lighting.

So the fast-angle wheelsets fit and rotate freely within the Lima truck frames?

Just out of curiousity, what is the minimum radius of the Lima passenger cars?

yes they turn good , but not hesitate to put a little grease on the pointed axles , minimum radius is 120 cm whith thoses trucks ,normally i replace them whith another trucks (jep /guillermet/lionel)  and the minimum radius could be less (the look is bad on the layout )but the spare parts are not easy to find ,really ! the main stock came from people who convert cars 3 to 2 rail

trainworld sell trucks for passenger car , they look like ok for thoses cars ,i think that the nummer is 6029
