I started last week on a Grandt Line 0-4-0T side tank Porter kit that's been on the closet shelf for a number of years. It's styrene, not metal. And it's On3, so it requires some modification. Grandt Line used to sell a conversion kit to make it On42, equivalent to S standard gauge. The conversion kit contained longer axles and a few other odd parts, like spacer washers. Right now I'm staring at the cylinder & smokebox saddle casting, deciding how to go about modifying it to allow for the wider gauge. I'm also considering what changes to make to the cab, which is fine for O scale but too big for my S scale crew. Moving one or two cars will probably be the model's limit, based on its weight, its tiny motor and its fine-toothed, plastic bevel gears. <http://www.grandtline.com/model_railroad/rolling_stock_and_locos.htm> -- Bill Roberts Yahoo!
