New from Accucraft
It'd on the US site at the moment but I hope they sell it in the UK. It's 45mm but hopefully convertable? Would make a great loco to 'kit bash'. http://www.accucraft.com/modelc/AC77-101-C.htm

Looks very interesting. Might be a bit big for most lines being 14ft long
Dan,

It has twin oscillating engines with gearing. It is designed by Mark Horovitz and is based on his "Indefatigable":

It cannot be re-gauged to 32mm as it is inside framed.

Outside frame by the photos, but the inside steam motor will be the limiting factor.Busted Bricks:74127 wrote:It has twin oscillating engines with gearing. It is designed by Mark Horovitz and is based on his "Indefatigable":

Interesting regardless.
EDIT: US pricing is around $360....cheap enough!

The shame is it went from Marc's nice looking Decauvillesque deisgn to something that looks like it was built from Borsig, Alco-Export and Japanese-Export locomotive leftover bits.
Maybe what the Chineese think a US tank loco looks like?

The original link won't work for me so here's an alternative link for any others that might be having the same problem:

Looks like an interesting loco ripe for kit bashing into a nice industrial workhorse.

I was as well, it is also outside framed, with HUGE flycranks? http://www.accucraft.com/modelc/AC77-101-C.htmBusted Bricks:74167 wrote:I was referring to the Accucraft loco.Spule 4:74150 wrote:

It could make for a nice Dutch tram engine... Shame about the gauge situation tho!Busted Bricks:74182 wrote: Marc did tell me that it cannot be re-gauged to 32mm as the motor is too wide to allow that.
It will be interesting to see what the UK price will be if it becomes available here.

Looks like a Bell locomotive...

I've wanted to build a rc/battery version for a few years now. I'm sure this little live steam critter will be ordered for the Gopher.

YES , forgot about the Bell locos. That page pops up on the forums every couple years, I always liked the two truck one.Dwayne:74206 wrote:Looks like a Bell locomotive...

Knowing the US steam modellers, these will be bought and bashed into something like these locos or one of the odd beasts that would have shown up in SE&ICo's secondhand yard in Atlanta, GA about 100 years ago.
