I bought an Atlas 1923 ARA [X-29] Steel Box Car in 2-rail that I need to convert to 3 rail. Does anyone know what trucks it should have? Andrews, Bettendorf or something else? I looked on the Atlas website for a parts breakdown, but they don't list this type of box car...  |

The Bettendorf would fit the year of the car as they were used after 1900.

Here's an image of the same car with 3 rail trucks. They look kind of like Bettendorf to me, but I'm not an expert on trucks.  |

I just did a search and that is a Bettendorf truck. There are also Bettendorf Friction Bearing trucks but they look a bit different.
