There's an excellent article in the latest "Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette" on bashing a Bachmann Forney (theirs is 0n30 scale) and turning it into an 0-4-0 swticher with a slope back tender. Looks really cute and I can just picture it scooting around an industrial site, shuffling box cars and such. I know the large scale Forney is pricey and ya gotta cut it all up. But what's a unique loco worth? And don't tell me ya don't buy magazines anymore 'cause they're too expensive. I say, eat less take-out and spend the money on a nice model train mag.

Here's a similar bash http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/...C_ID=28877
Seems like a lot of money for such a project when you can get a B-mann sidetank porter for $120 to use as a starter.

Yes you're right. You would have to make a new boiler but that's not difficult. The latest version is a 1:20 Spectrum model.
