I’m expanding the details of my Great North Central 2 foot gauge line, with a possibility of building some of it in On30.  I have an old Mantua 4-6-2 Pacific that may end up as an On30 locomotive.  (Or I might keep looking for a good running, cheap n-gauge Pacific to bash instead, but I’m really wanting to model some of this line in On30)

The Great North Central, in short, is the result of a merger between the Sandy River and Rangely Lakes, and the Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington—small lines with big names…

I am hoping to replicate the large intake grill on these new KiwiRail DL locos - N scale.

Does anyone have an idea where I might find a suitable product?

Thanks

Hi all.

Some things on the US scene are new for me. And one thing the size of the wheels. Why? Because almost all of my rolling stock (N Scale) has plastic wheels and I want to change that. Metal wheels will give them  a bit more weight and I'll add some more. After I read Mike Confalone's thrid book, I really want to try all of this.

Doubt came into my way when I was seacrhing for replacement wheelsets, and I saw 33" and 36" sizes.

How can I know what should I use for my cars?

Thanks.

Does anyone know a source in HO scale for a driveshaft driven generator used on some late 60s caboose trucks?

I'm kitbashing an Atlas extended vision caboose into an accurate Northern Pacific version.  The NP used this style of generator drive initially before balancing problems forced a change to a belt driven style.

Thanks
