I'm looking for a tiny 0-4-0 N scale chassis for a fun project, specifically powering a Thomas Take Along Sir Handel (got bored and started thinking of what I could accomplish with my little brother's old trains and a small N scale chassis). I'll stick them on an N gauge extension of my layout (thinking of a mine service running on a line called the "Old Mine Line"), and run them around for the other dark meats and giggles. I know it can be done, something as tiny as a Pez Thomas can have a powered HO truck stuck on, so finding an N scale one to fit this shell (with some modification) shouldn't be too hard.

Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end

Bachmann and Rivarossi. Forewarned, they have issues. Bachmann has gear splits and Rivarossi has sudden motor death. Bachmann released Skareloy I believe.

k, thanks for the warnings. Will probably go with the Bachmann one as split gears sounds a lot more repairable than sudden motor death. I've seen the Bachmann Skarloey, but what I'm doing is a more for fun project repowering a tiny toy.
Edit: Is there a swear filter I didn't know of? I swear I wrote s*** and giggles, not "other dark meats" and giggles. If there's a filter I didn't know about that's fine, was just wondering if it was that or me screwing up somehow.
