I have a n scale Shay. I'm getting out of n scale. And wanted to know if anyone makes a conversation kit to fit a atlas Shay. Thanks jt
Yes. You can find them on Shapeways. I believe Marsh Creek Miniatures did one. Also, I know that Prairie Locomotive Works has been working on several variants.
I meant that if he wanted to go Hon3, there are models out there. HOn30, is like On30 in that it's between the two gauges used in narrow gauge of 2 and 3 feet. Mind you I Mix it all up so I don't care about scale gauge fidelity as long as it looks cool.
Thanks guys. I've got some HOn3 stuff from years ago. I'm going to work on that for a while, and keep the HOn30 in my thoughts. Who knows. Could happen. Thanks again. Jt
As eyes and fingers get less accurate, there are also other scales people are doing now. Ho scale mechs and track for 1/55 scale 3 foot gauge. HO scale mechs and track and using things like Tamiya figures for for 35mm scale 2 foot gauge. Some people are doing HO scale mechs and track for G scale 18 inch gauge. These larger scales make scratch building a little easier. I see guys using 12" radius curves with them too.
Yes I'm modeling Hon3. Working on a old round house 2 8 0. And a shay. Slow going. Just taking my time. Jt
