That thing was a total bear to work with - better than 0.080 thick galvanized steel! Soldering was "educational" to say the least,

Weaver drives? I just buy up old RS-3 or FA units and strip out the drive components, and either resell or give away the body shell. Cheap and reliable drives.....

A year or 2 back I adapted a Weaver drive into a set of Current Line traction side frames and put that under one of those old IMP ED144 boxcabs that KTM made that were imported in the 50's. It's serialized in my column in O Scale Trains.
