Yep. Apparently they ran terrible and sounded like chainsaws.

There's always this one, available in Erie, CNJ, Reading and six others...



Unfortunately, it's Z scale: http://www.fr-model.de/index.php?lang=en&what=products&action=zoom&nr=110&cat=us&image=

For every one else...  I have this boxcab body drawn up in N scale with CAD. I have a perfectly working chassis with a 72:1 gear ratio! I was trying to have Bob etch the body for me, but CAD files and adobe files (what Bob uses) don't jive with each other.

I have since made the frame of thick brass and put a Faulhaber motor in it.

Current version of the chassis:

Ain't pretty, but she runs great with Kato style axle end pick-ups. And is can probably pull more than 3 Walther's 0-8-0's  :P
