Hi Cary,
First, I apologize for not getting the part numbers for my
conversion to you yet. I had planned on digging through my
file of receipts this weekend, but ended up going water skiing
instead - sorry.

is for the solid axle cars like TR-3's and TR-4's.

Not recently since he has been attending the VTR convention in
Portland, OR as guest of honor, but I suspect that he might have
some useful insight.
