Not w/o actually seeing them, but then I would think that a call to NWSL would also solve that for you.

Thanks, Rufus! That’s the company I used to use before I lost my way in the wilderness!

Well, we'll do what we can to guide you back onto the true path!

Here's some Atlas trucks:

and some MTH trucks:

and some Lionel trucks:

I used to get them (ex-K Line) from The Western Depot, but when I looked I didn't see any (6-22366). I used them under my Weaver N&W cars cause the real N&W trucks were 8'-6" centers and the Weaver trucks are only 7'-0"

I still have a pair of them in my parts box. Here's some photos.

Original Weaver trucks that came on N&W cars:

Replacement K-Line/Lionel trucks now under Weaver cars:

Seems like the Kline trucks came with 2-rail wheels(?)


BUT, looking at the trucks under your car they appear to be different than the Weaver trucks that came on the N&W cars.

My Weaver cars had a thin (1/4"?) sheet metal "bolster" that had a tab and a screw to hold them in place. The Lionel trucks have centered posts so I made replacement "bolsters" from 3/16"-1/4" acrylic.

If all else fails you could try calling GGD, nice trucks but a bit pricey.

Welcome back. Order a set of insulated wheelsets with shouldered axles. Disassemble the trucks, and run a #41 drill into each bronze bearing. Re-assemble. If sideframes are too loose, elongate the holes in the bolster, and trim excess off of outside edges of bolsters.

The problem is not wheelsets, but powering the lights! I use wood bolsters for the trucks, thus insulating them.

I do have one pair of K-Line trucks, but they are for the high level cars. The K-Lines came with wipers to all wheels for electrical pickup. I use only scale trucks of proper length on my personal conversions.

Actually you will like the MTH trucks. Scale length, scale appearance. Might not be much more $. NWSL is not cheap.
