JohnnieWalker posted:I posted this elsewhere no too long ago, how nice it would be to have a choice of small diesel switchers in standard gauge ? A 44 tonner, or a GP7 or 9 ? I see plenty of electrics and steamers out there, all good but seeing a diesel would be a fresh new start . Building my own is now becoming more of a reality . Maybe this winter I will build a prototype out of wood. If this happens I will post it.
I re gauged a Lionel large scale gp.20
To STD ga. Bridge rectifier. And extended the axles. Center pick up . I had to cut the trucks. To extend. Those can be molded to size..
That can be done with a kit. .. Change out trucks..boom..STD gp..or any other large scale conversion..
