Folks,
Not to ask a dumb question; but I do not know much about Diesels.

Is it possible to change a Diesel road locomtive from standard gauge to 36 inch gauge? There must be a lot of used Diesels around.

I understand that the D&S for example would need a road Diesel rather than a switcher to make main line trips.

How much would it cost today to build something new by a company like GE which has done them in the past?

Thanks,

Ted Miles, narrow gauge fan
