I wonder if someone here with a conventional version wishes they went command?
That could double the pleasure.
darn....I found nothing but juicy fruit, and spearmint.....

Checking the 'Product Locator' in LCT's (MTH) website, I believe there are none to be had any longer.
...but not a bad idea under different circumstances. We've (LHS) sometimes done this for a customer...typically for HO engines...to provide DCC/Sound, for example, when both versions (Conventional and DCC, Sound) have been produced. This is especially useful if more than one cab number was produced in the mix. One major producer, in fact, currently offers an HO engine model in several road names in conventional, and a completely different mix of roads in DCC, DCC/Sound. In that case, the swapping of chassis and hoods is a really important option.
(And some folks think that LHS's are of little use anymore?........tsk, tsk.
)
Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

I believe what was being suggested is to buy an engine of the same ilk, different paint scheme, but conventional, and then swap shells. Fine if we sold more than the occasional special order of Tinplate. I'm just not sure we could sell it. FWIW.
