Would you believe that this...



...is built onto the shortened undercarriage of one of those? It has the original spring belt drive updated with a Sagami can motor that was a drop in fit. Great runner.

Mine is the original drive offered by Walther's...the original motor was an open frame Pittmen. IMO, I'd go the NWSL route if you're not concerned with keeping the kit in period parts.

only reason i thought of the nwsl motors was the lack of access to original drives,this motor is also being made for the athearn hustler

The mere thought that you own that boxcab instead of me makes me want to sob like a school girl...
