Title: HO Scale Scruff, Winston and Stafford
Post by: JLK2707 on March 14, 2015, 08:52:41 PM
I am just wondering what would be easier to use to make an HO scale Scruff out of either making him from plastic cards or by modifying a take-n-play model by putting in an HO scale Gandy dancer. I am also wondering if putting a Gandy dancer into a take-n-play Winston and Stafford can also be done.

I've been thinking the same idea for a while.
Take-N-Play Scruff with Bachmann Trucks for scaling compassion.

I would say the scaling comes pretty close

I assume if you add the gandy dancer, the footplate would be lower than the Take-n-Play chassis.

Hope this helps :)

the Take n Play does match the HO/OO Scale, it is just the question of whether Bachmann when they do make Scruff will be able to add moving eyes.

Hmm, as for the moving eyes in Scruff I'd just have to say no due to how small he is in size.
