I picked up four sets of the Kato RDCs when Caboose hobbies was clearing them out for $33.00 a set.
When they arrived I took one set apart to see whart made them tick. The $33.00 price tag allows a person to get brave and the price made me look at them as a parts souce for other projects.
Well the geared trucks and driveshafts got me thinking they could be used in a Shay. The following picture is what I ended up with once I bashed everything together using parts from my junk drawer.
