.....but all the changeovers on 3rl to get them ready for 2 rl is almost more than I can stand especially since nothing in HO is selling.

Confused. Why start at buying 3rl to convert to 2rl - why not just buy 2rl to start?

What does the lack of HO sales have to do with this - trying to sell your off to finance O? Maybe lowering prices will help?

Just bought 2 Weaver diesels for ~$80 each this past month - basic DC units to use the drives for powering traction freight motors, but affordable stuff is out there...
