Hi,

Has anyone out there disassembled one yet?  I'm interested in the chassis for a project, but I'd need to stretch the wheelbase - does the motor drive both axles like the LGB 4-coupleds (and the siderods are purely cosmetic), or just one axle, and the siderods transmit power to the other?

I'm assuming that the dimensions for current 0-4-0st are the same as those on Scottychaos page for the 0-4-0 side tank ( http://gold.mylargescale.com/scottychaos/MLS-kitbashing-guide.html ) , 1.32" (33.5mm) drivers at 2'68" (69mm) wheelbase - If they aren't someone please shout..

Thanks,

Jonathan

Jonathan,
The motor drives only the rear axle and is fairly easy to do a stretch on. I haven't measured, but I'm pretty sure the wheelbase is the same as the earlier chassis.

Thanks Chris - couple more things to check, and I'll put one on order and break out the toolset.  Anyone in the market for a saddle tank bodyshell?
