Hello All,
I am looking for a good model to convert to onboard battery. I am asking here because I would like to select a good sized traditional/semi-scale model that is either used or old = as little money as possible. This would be a test mule to see how I do with replacing power source and adding electronics (DCC, sound and remote control).
My requirements are:
-must already have DC motor
-steam
-prefer with lights and smoke
-do not care if it is 3 rail or 2 rail
-it does still need to work
I did purchase this Atlas O 4-4-2 Atlantic and have found it may actually be AF sized and not really even Traditional O sized.

It seems I should have asked for help first!
Thx.
