Title: Downsizing a Connie
Post by: Mik on December 17, 2010, 06:29:33 AM
Since this was done primarily with Bachmann parts and products I thought I'd share it here.  :D

For those wanting heavier motive power without changing their 1:22.5 layout over to 1:20 - Take one 1:20 Spectrum 2-8-0.....

Add the smaller Big Hauler 4-6-0 cab and tender shell in place of the factory one, shorten the domes, etc to match, and maybe move things around a bit......

Weather to taste.....

And call it a Baldwin 10-30E.....
