Reply to "Are new MTH E8s and PAs Proto 3-2 Capable?"

That's really my question as well--If the trucks have the removable bottoms like other 3-2 convertible diesel locomotives, installing scale (insulated) wheel sets is relatively simple.  I'm much less concerned about the wiring.

On the other hand, trying to convert an existing E8 with the captive axles would be far more difficult.  I know NWSL makes the wheel sets, but I don't have a puller and a press.  The frame also may or may not need to be modified since the electrically conductive drive gear sets are on opposite sides of the front and rear trucks.
