On the title question: i have converted prewar Hudsons, a prewar B6, and am in the middle of a recent scale FEF. I would not invest much time in a non- scale body, but the scale models are worthwhile. The B6 is the most difficult, because of the gearing setup. Diesels are really easy - find scale trucks and swap. Weaver or Atlas at one point would sell a pair of trucks ready to go for under a hundred bucks. In the olden days folks just used All Nation. Nothing says you cannot use TMCC on 2-rail track, but I agree - eBay it.
