4-8-0

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Hi Aubrey;

I am looking at low drivered Bachmann Spectrum 4-6-0 as the starting point.  The drivers are the correct diameter, and it has a four wheel lead truck.  Unfortunately, that is as far as I got.  

FYI - Bachmann says that the low drivered 4-6-0 has 52" drivers, it has 55-56" drivers, as does their 2-6-6-2 and 2-10-0.

Bowser also now has 56" drivers.

  Thanks for the reply about bashing a 4-8-0!  Using PVC for a boiler is pretty resourceful!

  And I am aware that brass models of the M classes have been made. More than 20 years ago I had one. I don't remember the manufacturer but although it looked good, it ran very poorly! Since then someone else has made it in brass, a couple of versions as I remember. 

  I would like to bash one using one of today's higher quality plastic models as a starting point. Surely more of us have already done it.
