EDIT - You might want to read through this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/200397.aspx">http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/200397.aspx</a><!-- m -->

The problem with HAMO conversion sets is that the result will be an engine built after German rules and NEM dimensions - not NMRA! (NEM = Rules of European Model railroads) Wheelsets will have other diimensions and wheels do not have NMRA contours. So these models do not run on US tracks and on switches especially.
I know from German forums that all members there do advise not to change Marklin to 2 rail DC. Sorry!
