Ever since I decided on using 32mm track for my mine tram, I’ve been concerned about the… durability, of the drivetrain on the Faller 0-6-0T. So I decided I needed a second unit to share the shunting duties. I stumbled across this oddball critter on feebay. A 6 wheel, 2 rail, O scale, Atlas/Riverossi drive block, with a Lionel shell… Kind of part Plymouth, part Davenport, part European Whoknowswhat – all ugly, totally the wrong scale, but only $10 plus shipping…
Now, what to DO with it? Then I thought, “How about a 10 (or so) ton Brookville?” They’re proportioned something like that…
It’s not finished, I need to scrounge an air horn and a 1/24 car battery yet, add window glass and an operator, and do a bunch of sanding… but I think it looks more or less presentable
