On3 and On30 are both subsets of O scale. It is all built to the same
proportion of 1:48.

A lot depends on how much authenticity you desire. Are you rivet counter? Do
you model a freelance RR? Do you have a real name? (2nd request!) And so
forth.......

Question #1: What is your opinion regarding the conversion of this loco to S
standard gauge?
Question #2: Can the wheels be spread apart by .135" to the correct gauge for
S? Or will they fall off the ends of the axle? Can the bolster length be
stretched a bit?
Question #3: Any suggestions regarding how to deal with a cab, sideframes,
body, details, etc. that are approximately 25% too large for S scale?
Good luck...Ed L.
