I've put aside my ambitions of building a Northern for now in favor of some other projects. For one of those, I need eight 3/4" diameter drive wheels, ideally with connecting rods but I'll take them without rods too. The project is my conversion of a Monogram Big Boy to a powered model. These are a higher priority.
I also need a Tyco 0-8-0 cab to complete my Clementine. Does not have to be from a Clementine, just needs to be the same kind of cab.
I might also have room in the current budget for some diesel shells, but they're not top priority. I'm interested in: A couple of FTB or F7B shells (ideally in Santa Fe passenger warbonnet), an E7 A or B shell (ideally in Union Pacific), or a Dash 8/9/whatever-as-long-as-it-has-the-flared-radiator shell (also ideally in Union Pacific).

I may have a later F-9 shell for parts probably missing trim
This is the late seventies version which was more plastic then metal

Is it a B unit? And plastic is preferable to metal because it can be drilled and cut much more easily.

Sorry, not interested in an F series A unit shell. I specifically said B Unit shells as far as F series diesels go. The reason for that is that I have four A Units, two of them F9s and two of them FTs. Hence my interest in pairs of B unit shells - by shell-swapping, I would be able to make complete A-B-B-A lashups of either F9s or FTs depending on which shells I used.
I also said that the shells are currently a maybe. I'm more interested in getting eight 3/4" diameter drive wheels right now, to facilitate my static-to-powered Big Boy project.
