Is it possible, to turn a 50t 2 truck climax into a Forney? I'd leave the tender truck in place and remove the drive shaft and get em free rolling.
I have 4 of the older Climaxes and all have internal cracked gears so thats how this project has came up in thought. I'll convert all 4 of em to Forneys and my plan is to take some IHC/mehano 0-4-0 chassis and install them under the exsisting frame to create an 2-4-4 Forney. using the Climax motor and boiler and what have you. I can't figure out how to open up a climax to see what the inners look like to see how possible the idea is.
Suggestions on this idea?
