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. http://2guyzandsumtrains.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=2050/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=0.html/tyco/forum/uploaded/Ray Marinaccio/HOn30loco.jpg

| 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.
