Reply to "Thoughts on converting a three rail Lionel H16-44 to two rail"

"The Carworks" imported a brass model of the H16-44 in couple of variations. It has a Weaver style drive and brass trucks. If you like single motor drives, which I do, it is a good candidate and was done only in 2 rail. Versions included rounded and square cab windows, AAR style trucks and C-Liner style (FM I guess) trucks. The PRR version I have has C-Liner trucks and square windows which is accurate. I was able to use Kadee Low shank couplers to get the correct coupler height. You can't use a Kadee box without modifying the pilot so I just let my couplers swing, not self centering. These still show up at shows and such. They all came unpainted.

So the tradeoff is painted and convert, or unpainted but no conversion maybe.
