Ebay, extremely rarely. But your chances of finding one, much less a narrow gauge one, are almost one to nothing.
Actually, I found all of them for under $50!!!

I think you can find an easier way for making the narrow gauge engines you could use take and play and just replace the wheels but then you would have to figure out the power supply.

or you can use tomy wind up for some narrow gauge engines definitely not all of them though

Your best bet is to use the body kits for the talyllyn engines, and pick the face of your choice, but be warned that they don't come with a chassis, so you have to find the best fit. :)

The best scale for ho narrow for a 2 foot track width is hon30. there are a few companies that make them, one I know of the top of my head is Railway recollections.

You know it's funny I thought I saw the other day on Youtube of  guy who took the old track master locomotive bodies and just put them on n scale track however this guy only used that for most of his trains for the rest he made others custom like fearless Freddie just one problem with that though Trackmaster is way to big for HO gauge It would probably work for somthing like o scale but not HO scal

Are you talking about topskafatt? He used bandai tecs models which is similar to trackmaster for his narrow gauge engines with some exceptions, bandai tecs is close to OO scale though

incase bachmann dont do the narrow gauge engines im willing to build them for anyone who wants them but they would be to original books maybe tv series.
