K-Line Plymouth 2 Rail Conversion

brother love post a similar conversion and on that post there was a link to someone else who had don the same thing. if you can't find it i'd contact brother love. you may want to just email or call NWSL if you want to go that route.

let us see what you are doing always great to see another 2 railer posting!!!!!

This has popped up here before...a couple times! 

Joe Foehrkolb of Baldwin Forge and Machine authored an article in a paper magazine several years back that showed his conversion.  I would rate his work as the "gold standard".  Joe participates on this forum, he can fill you in on his details, or guide you to the correct publication so you can find your own copy?

I used Joe's ideas as a base for my own conversion.  I would have to say that my version is at least sufficient.  I don't have the equipment or experience and can't justify the expense for the tools to learn.  My personal goal was to build my own model and found a way to meet that goal using Joe's shared knowledge to guide my solution.

I posted a blow by blow on a friends blog site.  Check out this link:

As already mentioned, Brotherlove also shared his conversion here on this forum.  You will have to use the search function and may be able to find it, if it wasn't too long ago.

Thanks for the replies so far. I have been searching the older posts on the topic. But so far have not found info specifically on the wheels yet. Thanks Mr. Bacon. I will check out the link you posted.

Regarding wheels, I used NWSL 172 tread wheels on my conversions and bushed them with steel bushings on one side and micarta bushings on the insulated side.
