This is a little locomotive I have been working on.
I modified a Bachmann dockside chassis and built the rest from brass.
Here's a link to a thread with construction photos.

COOL!!! I will have to see how you built it. Does it run? If so, how tight of a curve can it take with out the roof overhangs touching?

2 cool, man!
Hon30... is that basically N scale?
By the way, I've seen "HOn30" and "HOn3" as gauges to select from.
What's the difference in the two choices?

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Thanks .
It runs, I used N scale Bachmann 0-4-0st drive parts.
It will run on 9 3/4 radius turns, I haven't tried anything sharper.
HOn30 uses N gauge track, HOn3 has a slightly wider gauge, but both are HO scale.
