Out of curiosity has anyone converted one of the newer Lionel Legacy ES44's diesel locomotives? I was looking at them a bit and think they are just a bit nicer than the MTH version. Also some slight differences in terms of phase, seems to be a little bit later version, but still not 100%
Granted I don't think they are using the same boards in O Scale that they do in S Scale as it seemed like those had DCC out of the box? Whereas you would have to gut the O scale versions. However, the whole pilot thing seems better also with Lionel less gap to fill,etc.. Wheelset replacement seems doable with maybe NWSL replacements?
Anyway this thread got me thinking...
