I wanna kitbash a 4-4-0 from a 0-4-0 frame. How can I stretch the frame? I have a 0-4-0 frame and boiler I'm basically splicing into a 0-4-0. On the 0-4-0 frame, the steam chest area and up is being chopped off and the other frame's steam chest area and back is being discarded. " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN!

The 2 frame pieces could be joined by notching the ends and joining them like the front and rear sections of this Mikado frame are joined together. Ray
