GE 25 Ton N scale: Do these exist?

[mcbryan]

I found a hand made 25 Ton on youtube, and it's beautiful. I started looking for one to buy and can't find any. Anyone know of an N scale GE 25 ton? I found one HO, but no N.

Interesting idea but a tall order! The handmade one on YouTube looks great but it's in HO, based on a Bull Ant power truck. I own an HO scale version based on the Grandt Line kit, and it doesn't run even remotely as well as this (poor track contact, runs basically flat-out or not at all) but I still have a fondness for it. N scale is a tough scale if you're into dinky locomotives. Closest I can think of is the N scale Plymouth MDT switcher.

I believe this is the N-scale switcher Jetrock spoke off:

Take Care!

Maybe it's time to consider making the leap to HOn3, where there's room to stuff in sound if you'd like? Not mine, but others have done so. This is mine, which actually does ok once it;s warmed up.

Yow! My eyes crossed just looking at this...so it looks like it can be done, if you have the skills, but not necessarily an "off the shelf" solution. I just got started with a Shapeways body converting an HO 44 tonner to a General Electric steeplecab (photos and post once I have some work to show off) and it's tiny enough to fill my need for small motive power but big enough to be semi-reliable--while I have a soft spot for the Grandt Line 25 tonner I built, it's a hangar queen.

Good luck to the OP in their quest for a tiny loco in a tiny scale! Bring a magnifying glass to show it off to your friends.

Contact him, He might be able to build another one.

"(Model now sold - one can be built as long as parts available) 

Note that the mechanism, motor, and shell alone of this model account for $70 worth of parts."

Yes, but it's too small to be seen without a magnifying glass.
