Hi All,

A rather momentous occasion occurred recently, when my South Australian Railways Rx class 4-6-0 entered traffic.

The prototype loco entered traffic in April 1915, and was built by Walker and Co. of Maryborough in Queensland. Some 80-odd of the Rx class loco's were operated by the South Australian Railways, and were basically a jack-of-all trades, go-anywhere loco's and weighed in at 80 tonnes and were equipped with Belpare fireboxes. Some loco's received superheated boilers, however, Rx224 (as I have modeled), remained a saturated loco.

Could somebody with the Spectrum Bachmann 2-6-0 please measure the driver diameter for me?  I am hoping that it is the same as the low boiler 4-6-0, so that I can replace some or all of the drivers.  I like the counterweight style on the 2-6-0 a bit better, as it will be a little easier to modify for my purposes.

I have seen the kits available for converting HO (including Bachmann) steam drives to On30 steam engines.  I have viewed the kits offered by Backwoods and a few others.  We have discussed converting a Spectrum 3 truck HO Shay that I have to an On30 Shay in another post.
