I have an originally Standard Gauge car that can be converted to 3' in 3 greasy hours, by changing axles and brake rigging.

As I understand it, the Army did buy a few adjustable gauge motorcars, but I've been told that due to the fact that when you capture a railroad, the MOW equipment comes with it, there was not a lot of motivation to buy very many of them, so very few were made.
