Howdy all,
I'm new to this group and S scale so please go easy on me with
this first post. After selling my O scale collection and loading up
on Missouri Pacific cars from SHS I decided I needed some motive
power. Ebay hooked me up with a modern Lionel/ American Flyer
Pacific class for the amazing low price of $185. My plans are to at
least letter it for the MoPac. I would like to do some reconstuctive
surgery to convert it into a P-73 class with the smooth streamlined
pilot. Of course when I bought this engine I did not know S scale
had a choice of AC, DC, or DDC. Before I get crazy cutting things up
and rearranging piping I need to know if I can basically get an AM
models' Pacific class engine and wheels fitted in the Lionel/ Flyer
model. Does anyone out there know if this frankenstein surgery can
be done? I like the Lionel/ Flyer model better because to me it
looks more realistic with better details. As for all the talk I have
seen about possible new steam locomotives, how about showing some
love to the Missouri Pacific? After all the Pacific class was named
for the MoPac.
