While not an O gauger, I am interested in this project. I am planning something similar starting with an Am Flyer (S gauge) Atlantic, chopping it up and recombining the pieces into a Reading P-7sb. I haven’t started yet, but have accumulated detail brass castings, drivers, and various other items to use in the conversion.
One thing that caught my attention is how Magicland attached styrene to metal, JB Kwik. I have tried various adhesives to ‘glue’ styrene and metal, but have not found one I think is strong enough. Epoxies generally don’t stick very well to styrene. Would like to hear more about it.
