Matt,

 

I wish you good luck trying to find one of these JLC BB beasts. Great looking locomotive with plenty of applied details, etc. It took me almost 2 years to locate one in good condition at a price I could afford. And I hope you have a layout with generous track radius to run it on or it will wind up being a 'shelf queen' almost overnight. Excessive boiler overhang on the front end of this engine looks 'goofy' especially on tighter track radii.

Any of the Lionel Big Boy's are definitely 3-rail engines. However they can be converted to 2-rail but it isn't going to be a cheap undertaking. My guess is somewhere around $600 +/-.  KTM / Westside and Max Gray (US Hobbies) did make the Big Boy in 2-rail brass many years ago and they go for somewhere around $1300 to $2000 depending on condition, etc. So either way its going to cost around the same amount of money for a 2-rail Big Boy.
