Thanks Vic, I knew nothing about the 'odd duck' before, but your right, there is LOTS on the internet, about the Galloping Goose!! Even got me a few better pictures to go by. Now I just need to aquire one of them geese. Does any body know of any other HO kits to build, besides the Jordan bus?

Thanks but, 'yikes'!! I was hoping to get them a little cheaper, like in kit form! BTW, I'm still waiting for, and to pay for, my Rivarossi "McCloud River" Heisler to arrive!
Drew

there was a great article on rolling your own in model railroader some years back [i can't even remember which decade, sorry].
someone may be able to remember it.
i guessed you were in ho, was that correct?

goose
Drew, Shamus has had one for several years. They are quite simple to make, or bash. HAS to be simple or I wouldn't have been able to do it. To my knowledge, there is no real kit. I don't remember the brand ( it is well known ) but it was a boxcar kit, with instructions on how to modify to a Galloping Goose. First of all it looked pretty pathetic. Secondly it was an unpowered dummy.
Find an old HO size car or bus. Sometimes Hot Wheels has a Model A or T, an old Duesenberg, anything with that type front end. N scale wheels with a longer axle on the front. Use a cheap little diesel switcher motor and drive wheels for power and locate it into a small old-timey passenger car, which you have fastened onto the back of the car you are using the front of. A little imagination, and a mite of bashing, and voila!!!!
I have two I made, and if you are truly interested, email me and I can send pics. I don't know how to on the forum, but I can send email. The geese will break down to show how I put together.

Thanks,
