When I give a clinic on 3 rail to 2 rail conversions, the question of P-48 comes up at times. I refuse to convert any models to P-48 as I see no real point in it and, in my opinion, it has created a rift in an already too small segment of our hobby known as O scale 2 rail.
Just my thoughts...

You do really great work Joe, and I've always admired your craftsmanship. Your machine work is second to none.
I've always presumed, from the tone of your comments that you did not do P:48 conversions for personal/philosophical reasons, not because they were any more difficult to do.
Unfortunately for me I admired Bob Hegge's Crooked Mountain Lines enough to make a decision that if I ever did O scale it would be "finescale".
For me the beauty of this hobby is well detailed track and prototype profile wheelsets rolling on it.
And I appreciate craftsmanship, regardless of track gauge OR number of rails.
