Not a chance, either because I have two lifetimes' worth of projects (and that was probably before I started acquiring any S scale) or because it is not just the deep flanges but also insulating for two-rail. Even the couple of times I've converted an O scale steam locomotive I've been happy to ship the drivers off to Joe Foehrkolb for his excellent machining; for what he does it is quite reasonable, but it is still expensive enough that one needs to do a cost-benefit ananlysis to determine whether the end result is worth it. Not that I haven't thought about it before with Don's 2-8-0's, as there are a lot more AC versions out there.
