I have a few Kusan freight cars and a caboose but no 2 rail loco or track.They work fine with Lionel but I have to put them at the rear of the train because of their light weight. Also does anyone know if the Williams Beep was 2 rail or 3 rail?

The Williams "Mighty Mite"--made with the Kusan tooling--was three-rail. Neither the Kusan model nor the Williams version had anywhere near the detailing or features of the current RMT model, which is a superb little locomotive, however fanciful, for around $50. In my opinion, it's the best motive power value in O gauge, followed closely by the K-Line Plymouth. At under $100, I imagine the new Lionel 0-6-0 may fall into that same category, as well, although I've not yet seen or operated one of those models.
