shadowbeast Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Some parts to scratch/convert with, if you're going On30. Weird thing about the Shay: http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_71_130 that's all they have for the 2-truck shay in On30 but: http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_68_92 that's all the shay parts they have in HO.... "It makes me to be suspicious..." -Hercule Poirot The Company B locos are each still cheaper than one of those Shay underframes. They are rough scaled to 1/56 but run on S gauge track, so if you just buy a loco and some S gauge bogies you could scratch the rest...

shadowbeast Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Plan D I have ordered a Model Power HO tank engine and am going to convert it to a Cryx industrial tramway loco, taking off the body and scratching one that will work for On30. For rollingstock I have ordered 3 Bachmann underframes and pairs of archbar bogies from Ozsteam, and shall be scratching some scrap wagon bodies on top. What am I going to do for a guard van though, I wonder... If I can raise enough interest in Malifaux I shall do something bigger, perhaps using a larger Model Power loco, or perhaps just buy an On30 one- but not now. The tramway train is more immediately useful for Warmachine, so the rest can wait till I can be bothered or until I get some Malifaux sessions going.

Svenn Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Lots of good info here! Rob_Jedi, I'm amazed at how that went from cheap toy looking to amazingly cool train terrain with some paint! Just so we're all clear here... O scale is generally what we should be looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markziff Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I think you'll find it's actually S scale! 1:64. As far as getting cost effective bits for that.................good luck! However:- http://www.showcaseline.com/ http://www.americanmodels.com/ If you do find a inexpensive source, save me a place in the line please.

markziff Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 S scale 1:64 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowbeast Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think you'll find it's actually S scale! 1:64. QUOTE] No, while 28mm is S Malifaux is 32mm so the closest you'll get is US O. Company B run S gauge track but the trains are 1/56. Ariis repops are 1/50 on 21mm track but good luck finding rollingstock for that...
