The design of a Lionel locomotive can grease the skids for scale conversion or
it can greatly inhibit scale conversion. Being inhibited does not mean scale
conversion is impossible, but it becomes very time consuming and expensive.
The real beauty of Fred's cooperative relationship with Lionel is that he can
discuss the matter with Lionel and ask that future locos be designed in such a
way that makes scale conversion even easier than with the Y-3. Thus, there is
the hope that Fred's conversion services can become more economical.
We do not know how much influence Fred will wield, but he is sort of almost
indirectly sitting at the table. Best to ask Fred questions about specific
models. He is far more knowledgeable than I am.
