    O scale Mallet Bash

    Hi Bill, Keep an eye on ebay, you might get lucky. These old Rivarossi locos build into nice models with a bit of work. They run surprisingly well, smooth and quiet. Cheers, Joe.

    Forney Bash To Saddle Tank

    Hi Mick.:thumb: The Bogie came out of a Roco Swiss electric type Loco. The spring was part of that drive set up. The short can motor is out of an old C.D. Rom drive, old DVD players have the same motors in them, they are very good for Loco drives. Cheers, Joe.:wave:
