Stainz / Bachmann LYN bash. Opps- it's not a porter.

Bob, <br />Look at removing the boiler/cab etc from the Bachmann chassis and similar for the stainz. I know the side rods/valve gear are slightly different on the stainz but they do look ok. Take the coal bunker and cab back off the Bachmann and extend the cab floor out with some styrene to make up the gap, have the loco on a curve when you do this! You should be able to marry up the Bachmann body to the LGB chassis without too much worry - I put a Lionel 0-6-0 boiler onto an LGB mallet front chassis and turned the lot into a Mason Bogie without any hassle, the whole lot was held to the chassis by a 2" wood screw through the rear dome into the pivot of the chassis. Do you need to loose the side tanks? I think it looks neat in the picture with it's tanks and tender and would look good on any logging railroad. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
