Thanks guys.

I found the parts on the Weaver site. I bid on them before I asked if they were 3 rail [they weren't described which in the product listing]. I emailed and he said they were 2 rail....why he wouldn't offer up that information in the listing is beyond me...

They also have the smaller, two rail type coupler. I will know if I am the "winner" in 4 days....

The[}:)] Doctor is in! Did you try Weaver? Since they put out rolling stock in both 2& 3
rail verisons, They might be the first place to look. And they made the cars you bought
in the first place, So I say contact them first, then look to others.

I remain the humble, yet [}:)] Doctor!

Beware of K-Line trucks. I just discovered another disintegrating drawbar, on a DMIR crane car. See http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6619

I bid on some hoppers but found that they were two rail...

Where can I get reasonably priced 3 rail wheel sets and couplers that will fit Weaver Rolling stock?

Thanks.
