Conversion of MTH R-142 & MP-54 to 2-rail? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

HI,

Has anyone converted an MTH Subway set or other non-premier line cars to 2 rail operation? I am interested in their upcoming (Rail King Scale) subway R-142 http://www.mthtrains.com/content/30-20191-1 and commuter MP-54 http://www.mthtrains.com/content/30-20174-1 offerings but they are built as 3-rail. They are listed with Proto Sound 3.0 which has DCC already in it which is also good for me. I have not done a 3 to 2 rail conversion before. Thanks in advance for any help.
