The latest release of ES44ACs from Lionel comes with Kadee mounting pads. Unfortunately removing the front claw coupler is still a challenge because the thumbtack (I bought a non powered version) doesn't fit between the plow and pilot. I haven't done the rear pilot yet but expect it to be much easier. Eventually I'll fix the pilots and do full length handrails, but with the kinematic pilot design on these they still look pretty good out of the box.
