Description This was another HO gauge locomotive I came across while at the Myrtle Beach model train show. It is supposed to be "HO" scale, but it is MASSIVE comparatively speaking. However its proportions are PERFECT for an On30 kitbash! I just need to repaint it, get a larger cab, add some O scale details, and BAM!! And On30 Plymouth.

Comment if you fave please.

I saw one at the Choose Choose barn and it's cab was a good size for it's crew, if a little short (then again, all the narrow gauge diesels I've been in are a bit cramped for ME and I could barely see the front of a steam tractor!)

Well, I plan on getting a new O scale cab from Boulder Valley Models.
The goal being to bash this into a respectable Plymouth Gas-Mechanical!

Don't repaint the Chessie cat!  (I've been going through your older Model Railroad photos, sorry.)

Well... I'd like to oblige you, but the fate of this loco has already been decided. I just need to get an On30 cab kit and I can start converting the model to an On30 Gas-Mechanical.

Now that is a VERY good idea. XD

As much of a hard core narrow gauge steam buff I may be, I have a soft spot for old Plymouths and Gas Mechanicals.

She ain't much at present, but she'll be a nice little clunker when I convert her to On30.
