Tyco Chattanooga 2-8-0

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Hi Bob;

A G would be out of the question, it is much much smaller than the Tyco
model.  And it is still large for a W.  It depends on how close you want to
get, and how much work you are willing to do.  There have been a couple of
excellent articles in Mainline Modeler on building steam locomotives from
plastic a few years back.  One was on building a scale model of a J one the
Bachmann Plus mechanism, it showed up about the same time the Spectrum
version was announced.  A W on Tyco Chattanooga chassis would be a similar
project.
