It the item is listed/shown in the MTH catalog has having "scale wheels", then yes, it will automatically have fixed pilots. Also, the item part number ending with a "-2" should also indicate that it is a "fixed pilot, scale wheel" version (the "-1" after the item number should be the "Hi-Rail wheel" version).
Then, depending on what track system you are using, you just have to change-out the scale wheels for the Hi-Rail wheels, which MTH sells separately.
