Just got this in the mail Saturday. It's a GP38-2 in need of a power chassis. I was thinking of using the Auto Torque Transmission I've developed.

Yes nice casting

Except they kept it in the oven to long. It sort of shrunk.

Yup, it got shrunk 72.5% and I need to make a chassis for it. It's in the works. The chassis that is.

Dear Bernd, I know you'll

Dear Bernd,

I know you'll be making your own, but otherwise I'd suggest Hollywood Foundry?

(even available in TT gauges... )

Happy Modelling,

Yes I know they make chassis'. And you're are right, I will be making my own.

Appreciate the link though. Have been there many times. One reason for making my own is I don't like the "tower drives". It'll be similar to example 1. http://www.hollywoodfoundry.com/Gurzeler.htm?id=93

I'm hoping to be able to include the Auto Torque Transmission.

P.S. seems like you're the only one to catch on about the 72.5%.
