Jace Kahn General Manager Ceres & Canisteo RR Co./Champlain County Traction Co. I may add some insite to this delima. A bachmann On30 Gas-Mechanical would be a starting point for the drive and the outside counter weights. The wheels can be spread to fit. The body and cab will have to be scratched or an HO 50 tonner body may work for the hoods. You will need two of the bachmann units however (45.00 ea) Paul I wasn't referring to your wanting a 45-tonner but to the several other list members who urged you to start with a 44-tonner. It would really be easier to start from scratch with styrene and an HO drive--the siderods are the least of the problems, as they only go along for the ride in smaller scales--of which there is quite a selection.
