I had no problem with your post, I just wanted you to be aware that in case you were wanting these locomotives in 2-Rail (since your post and questions were in a 2R forum) that these are not 2R locos.  I just didn't want you to make a mistake and reserve one (or more) thinking that it was going to arrive as a 2 rail model or others that might see the replies to your post in a 2R forum making that mistake either.

Those Gunderson 50 ft high cube cars have been popular with 2-Rail modelers (the Premier line of these cars were always nicely detailed cars with nice wire grab irons and etched walkway on the ends above the couplers) and might be easy to convert if they come equipped with Kadee compatible mounting pads.  You might want to try looking into those cars for a possible 2-Rail option.  This car would be equipped with 100 Ton trucks with 36" wheelsets.

I converted a 50 ft. airslide to 2R but I found that I had to mill out a little of the plastic frame under the trucks in order to fit the correct 36" diameter wheelsets, so they didn't rub.  33" wheelsets might work without any modification needed but this is a 100T car and really requires 36" wheelsets as well.
