Reply to "Converting 2-Rail Steam Locomotive to 3-Rail"

Not certain of the following.  I was told by A British O Scale retailer, that O Scale will run fine by placing a DC positive & Negative lead on the outside rails, eliminating the center rail.  If this is true, it's worth a try.  If it works, altering the loco won't be necessary.  Perhaps just run the engine on one track if that's possible...

Powering it ain’t the problem, it’s getting those flanges to cooperate and navigate hi rail tracks,….you could in theory do just as the fella told you, but the OP’s engine ain’t gonna navigate O72 curves as is …..he’d be relegated to straight track only, ….and that won’t be much fun,…..😉
