HO Baby "J" (K2a) Bachmann Conversion from Old 611 body

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks, Nigel!  

I will have to look at their site and see if they are still there.  Couple of
items that I have in motion are

1.)  ordered a Bachmann re-power kit #3-202 from Bowser.  It has the mount on it
for the trailing truck.

2.) Walthers sells a two wheel (single axle trailing truck that is listed as
Hodge trailing truck w/42" wheels for Northern Pacific.  P/n 585-31010   It
looks identical to the ones pictured under the N&W K2a.  It looks as iff it will
mount on the Bowser re-power mount.  Will let you know when the arrive some time
next week.

Regards
George Crawley
