Bud, the wheels are in the mail. I hope they will work for you.

lionelsoni Grayson, while it is true that most 3-rail trains are run on AC and most 2-rail trains on DC, the choice of number of rails has nothing to do with AC versus DC. There are numerous examples of all combinations of rails and power. Perhaps the most common exception to the rule you propose is 2-rail postwar American Flyer running on AC.

Well I learn something new everyday. Thanks for telling me that Bob.
As a side note, I run numerous Atlas 2 rail cars and have even added 2 rail wheelsets as well as Kadee couplers to Lionel and MTH cars, I like the more realistic trucks, wheels, and couplers. I use Atlas track and switches, and have no problem running them. (Yet I have no signals for them to affect though)
You can't beat the realism (this is my car, but it is not on my layout):

Bob:
Wheels arrived today, work just fine. I have no use for the insulated wheels so will send them back to you. You probably already have a place to store them.
Thank you,
Bud
That's great news, Bud! I'm glad I could help.
