Reply to "Anyone builid a brass locomotive kit and convert it to 3 rail?"

 Spending $850 bucks and then who knows how much more to fix the drivers for 3 rail operation. This just to see if you can do it!  I believe if a person is very  determined they could probably do most anything.  

ANOTHER THOUGHT

How about picking up a Williams 3 rail mike and a Precision catalog. Strip the paint off the mike and re detail it to whatever R/R you want to model. You can hang a ton of brass castings from Precision and make that baby look super, you can put in a better can motor and add that PS3 your talking about. You'll get a lot of modeling time and plenty of experience.  Best of all you won't have to get the drivers machined and you won't spend the whole bank roll. And you'll have a few bucks left over for your next challenge. 

That's if its a challenge your looking for , Its not how much you spend but how much you do with your hands and mind.  I have seen some really well done rebuilds on Williams models.

Whatever you decide to do, have some fun!!
