I am attempting to scratchbuild a Magma Arizona 2-4-2 in HOn3, but need some help with making the mechanized parts.
First off, I am in need of some drivers, 34" diameter. What driver diameters are available in HOn3, and by whom? I was thinking about going a bit large with MDC 2-8-0 drivers, unless I could find something else. My original plan was to build a frame and attatch a NWSL geabox and a small motor - but now I am considering the possibility of adapting an N-scale mechanism, and widening the gauge. Is it possible to re-gauge the bachmann N scale 0-4-0 by substituting longer axles? It's a pretty tiny loco, and I was also considering making it HOn30, as I need something to run on an 30" branch anyway.
Thoughts?
