Yes, I'm always at it! I took a TYCO 0-8-0, and made it into a 0-10-0, to be a B&O U-1....







Its designed like a Mantua 2-8-2 or 4-6-2 is done with the motor.....

I must say tho, this little thing runs really well in its current condition, I have along ways to go on him as well!

Enjoy! I just couldn't help myself!

The motor and custom made mount:



This is the way the motor is tensioned to keep good gear mesh:
