I hate to tell you truth be told in real life railroads HAVE added pony trucks to locomotives. I seem to recall that some railroad out here in Ohio rebuilt a number of Mason Bogie locomotive to conventional 2-6-0's and I know Cedar Point, an amusement park still uses 2-4-0's rebuilt from 0-4-4t's. Some it has actually been done, though not necessarily on a large engine. This proves it could be done but back to another point, why would any railroad want too! No railroad in their right mind would convert an 0-6-0 or other switcher to a road engine, however, in the case of Model Railroading I still think this is perfectly acceptable if a person is that desperate to get ahold of a 2-6-0 or whatever, seeing as that is exactly what Bachmann did for theirs! <br />ConnottonValley2652
