hello ,
I have a set of trucks converted to 2 rail , if you want to buy them , they were professionally done.
my email is in my profile

Some of the recent OGR articles featuring John Sethian should help describe the process (I hope I spelled it right).
The wheels need changing to insulate at least one side and then power needs to be picked up from those new wheels. The switchers usually get the positive from the roller which needs to be removed. I would personally consider also adding a switch for polarity so you can run the PS2 switcher in either direction. The newer PS3s don't need this switch.
I may need to email you Bernie, if those trucks don't sell!
I've always wanted their CSX dark blue MP15 switchers in 2 rail, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Joe Fohlkolb converted these , these trucks on switchers are the same for all models as far as I know , I have a mp15 or sw1500 , have not looked at it in a bit of time , Mon Valley Works is the road , all it needs is put back together , and wipers added .
175.00 shipped Joe , paypal
There are no electronics straight DC

You're killing me right now. About four new engines showed up and a dozen cars plus track. The radar system is turned up full and I can't even sneak in a box right now. I'd better cool it or hire an attorney. I was pondering a set of trucks might sneak by but.....
I wanted Bud Cole's 4 CNs also......
Bernie,
I am still thinking it over!
Brother Love,
Wow, nice.....I like it!

Dan, Sorry it took so long to get back, I do not visit the forum very much anymore. I had the re-drill the frame to match the bosses for the SW1 body and added some treadplate to the smooth areas of the frame. That was it. Malcolm
