Depends on how they've designed it. I've found that swinging pilots often
mean truck mounted motors with high speed gearing though. If the lionel model
is scale size with proper gearing it should be pretty easy to chop off the
pilots and put them and the steps in the proper space but it's sad and
disgusting to have to do it for that price.
I've been buying some HO stuff recently and it's a breath of fresh air to not
have a high rail related millstone hung around the neck. Anything designed in
HO is designed to be scale right from the start with no toy train cousins to
worry about.It would be great if the HO manufacturers came into the S scale and
drove the flyer roots off the center stage.
I still think the only 2 scales really needed would be S and TT scales to suit
the needs of the large and small train modelers respectively. I don't buy HO or
N because I want to , I only buy those scales because they offer the models I
want when S or TT scales won't...DaveBranum
