Loco's not suitable for Atlas code 55 N-scale track

Jan, it would help if you would let us know what locos you are concerned about. NWSL sells replacement wheels for quite a few diesels and there are a couple of cottage industries that do loco mods. Personally, the only ones I've had trouble with are the old Lifelike diesels (for which NWSL has replacements), the ancient Atlas 4-6-2, and an old Bachmann Northern.

The Lifelike diesels are on the edge fl@tliner , I have some old Minitrix engines that are a real problem and seeing what kind of rail they are made for , I'd probably better sell them or place them on a passive piece of track as scenery.

Maybe I should know but what does NWSL stand for and do you have a website?

Thanx Jan

Northwest Short Line's homepage is at:

Let me warn you that their catalog(ue?) an be a little difficult to work with, but there are a lot of goodies hidden in there!

The Lifelike diesels I referred to were the old F7, GP38-2, and BL-2 models. I don't have experience with any others except the excellent SW-8.

Unless you have some emotional attachment to the old Trix locos, they would probably bring decent money on eBay, or such. I have several engines that I'm agonizing over DCC installation, as well as the flange issue. I think I'm going to have to model a scrap line...

Thanx again fl@liner , the scrap yard was just what I was thinking of to use the old minitrix loco's on , I haven't gone to DCC yet but I know that will be a problem as well for these.

I went to the NWSL site and if I'm not mistaken they don't have any N-scale products?

OOps my mistake when I went further into the site I found N-scale products.

Well, at least, I warned you about their catalog. You should be able to find geared wheelsets for the lifelike locos.

Best of luck. fl@liner
