Title: Thomas - O scale 2 rail ?????
Post by: hgcHO on April 29, 2009, 11:52:59 PM

:) - I am looking for a two rail O scale Thomas - Is there such?

My friend said taking a three rail Thomas and 'making it a two rail is really a lot of work and not worth the trouble. Just paint a shell to look like Thomas'.

This is not my cup of tea....

Any ideas or help here?

Buy a lionel one and just convert it to 2 rail, i'm sure there are plans for such a thing out there on the internet.

Would be possible. I saw a Hornby Thomas converted to Three Rail once. :P

You could convert it from 3 rail to 2 rail, but 2 rail wheelsets have different contours.
