Reply to "MTH 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 steam switchers that have the 2-rail / 3-rail option"

Thanks everyone.

The engine I've been considering is the 20-3281-1 New York Central 0-6-0.  It's PS2 with a wireless drawbar.  The owner's manual indicates that it has a 2-rail / 3-rail switch on the tender.  I will be running 3-rail only, and need the engine to be able to trigger the non-derailing feature on my 022 and 711 switches.   I assume that, even if the engine is configured for 3-rail operation, the left- and right-side drivers will be electrically isolated from each other -- which means that the non-derailing feature of my switches won't work.  Correct?  Is there a solution that won't require major surgery?  Thanks.
