So it sounds like the easiest option, since I don't have machine metal working tools, is to acquire a 3 rail Mikado mechanism and adapt it to the boiler from the kit. So I'd be looking at the kit + a 3 rail Mikado mechanism + PS3 upgrade. But I'd need to get my hands on the kit first and see if the mechanism from a 3 rail Mikado would even fit. At that point buying a 3rd Rail SP MK5 Mikado and adding PS3 to it ends up being the cheaper route. I'm getting a bit leery of this as I could end up with $1k in parts I can't use. My idea behind this was a nice project for this coming winter, when it's too cold outside to work on cars in the garage.
