Did the B & O I 12 caboose from the 2019 catalog have mounting pads underneath for Kadee couplers.Thanks

No. I just happened to have mine (stock #2026220, road# 2822) right by the computer and checked it out to make sure of my answer. That is the main reason that I have not yet done the two-railing. I have been considering using a set of unknown manufacturer's Bettendorf Caboose conversion trucks that have the tongue for the three-rail coupler and attaching the KaDee offset (knuckle above the shank) coupler. This combination puts the coupler height exactly at the right height according to my KaDee coupler height gauge. One positive benefit is not having to drill any holes in the cabin car floor. Note that my replacement trucks also have power pick-ups so the marker will be lit although I am considering a battery option for that.

EDIT: To add photos of my trucks:
