Hi,
I'm a 7/8 modeler and O gauge is 18" in that scale. I'd appreciate advice on an analog 0-4-0 diesel and 0-4-0 steam low profile chassis with good slow speed running characteristics. Same for a two truck diesel chassis (to model Climax type locos). Low profile is important to leave room for batteries and electronics. DCC ability not important.
I don't follow O gauge so I'm clueless.
Thanks,

Will,
Would you like to explain that a little better?
What is the scale that you are reffering to?
What equals one foot?
What is the track gauge?
As I understand it 7/8 scale is 1:13.7 running on 45mm gauge track I.e. Large Scale. It represents 2 foot
gauge. The proposal is to use O scale track to represent 18 inch gauge track, presumably in a dual gauge layout.
Williams by Bachmann is 3 rail, as 7/8 scale would normally be 2 rail I would assume that you would want 2 rail for your project so as to look right with the 45 mm track. If so Williams by Bachmann has no suitable chassis.
Perhaps try posting your query on a 2 rail O scale forum, such as the OGR forum, they have a 2 rail board.
Good luck

Hi,
rOgruth- Hamish answered all your questions I believe. Thanks for responding.
Hamish-You hit a homerun with your reply- very perceptive. I didn't know Williams was strictly 3 rail.
Thanks for steering me. I've posted a similar request on OGR Forum.
