TC,
Thanks for your ideas. I did some checking and I have a set of S scale Climax truck side frames from PSC that seem to match some plans I have for Class A and B side frames. I managed to pick up a unbuilt Backwoods Miniatures kit for an Sn3 20 ton Class B Climax, and the truck side frames for it are also the same size as the PSC ones. I also have an Bachmann On30 Climax that I had hoped to convert to larger Class B in Sn3 but it's truck side frames are definitely too large for S.

It is protected with a sheet medal shield and we will use this to hide our motor. The prototype used open gears and you can do this or use the transfer case, and we want the gear noise. Then shafts to the trucks and bevel gears as per prototype. Another source for the trucks etc is On30 but that stuff may be too big.

I'd like one gauged for Sn3 also, but that one could be a little larger. Cars would probably just be some wooden disconnects and I'd use link and pin couplers.
