Title: Simple Question- Does any one make?
Post by: Oldman on January 08, 2012, 12:11:54 AM
After an O2 (Not Mobile phone before any one goes that route ::)) 0-4-4 Tank loco as run on the IOW up to the late 60's?
Even a kit to convert the Bachman 0-4-0 USA Dock shunter would be nice.

I've not seen an O2 in N. I believe there was some discussion with N Brass as Nick is doing a similar build 0-6-0. The M7 chassis might be a good basis (especially as the wheels are too small for an M7 so not far off right for an O2). The M7 is a fair bit longer (4' aka 8mm) but the trailing bogie could be moved in with care.
