Does anyone know a source for a hit and miss engine model in g scale? I went to a show last week and saw one on a FN3 layout. I am looking for a couple to detail my layout with. They looked to be resin and were the correct size for 1:24 to F scale. I asked someone at the show but they did not who’s it was.
I saw one on the eBay a couple weeks ago.
I didn’t keep the manufacture, as I have a couple die cast units. (Found on the E as well.)
Thanks, no luck.
How much ya wanna spend? The Hercules/Arco/Economy/Jaeger ones from Kester’s Old Time Collectables are about $25 each And will work for a largish (7-8HP) farm engine. http://kestersoldtimecollectables.com/main.html?src=%2F#3,0 There were 5 or 6 smaller ones released over the years (Spec-cast and others) as well. They were limited edition items and were 2-5X the Kester pieces when they were first released. now… At any rate they are about as scarce as Hen’s teeth. (About the only place I’d guarantee you’d find one or two for sale would be the engine show at Coolspring, Pa in June - or possibly Portland, Ind in May) There were 5 or so different ones. Galloway, New Holland, Gade, Woodpecker, and ??? Or just get some wheelbarrow wheels from Ozark and make your own!
