Graff,

That bus looks great. It's got the proper gravitas for narrowgauge.

Graff:

Nice job with the bus kit! I really like the added side door. I used the front part of the same kit to make a freight rail truck similar to a Galloping Goose and I still have the back part of the bus to work with. Hmmm?!?

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Kitbashed rail bus in HOn3

Hi all!

 

This weekend at the convention, I bought a german made Halling drive truck in HOm gauge (12mm) that I converted to HOn3.

I also bought a bus from Highway miniatures that could be the starting point for something fun.....

My friend Peter has had some opinions Smile on the locomotives he uses on the narrow gauge line on his museum layout (Swedish layout).

I reckoned that this could be a bit more Swedish than a Galloping Goose.... 

Now will Sanslösa järnvägar (SJ) get a new rail bus inspired from various real examples.

 

A few pics from the build:

It runs like a charm!
