Hello Sirs

Yesterday i saw in hon2jeff.blogspot.com.es (Adventures in HOn2, HOn30 and 009 Modelling) something that i need but i cant locate the blogger's email or the e-shop address where can i buy this.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks for your time.
Miguel

(GD KALMBACH LOUSY WORTHLESS FORUM MOBILE FORMAT WORKING LIKE COLD CRAP ON MY TABLET... had to switch to the bloody desktop GRRRRRR Devil)

back to the original question Wink

Not Knowing what brand of kit, or brand of donor chassis it was you saw, its very hard to offer any advice on drivetrains. Can you provide actual information on what you saw. Brand? Kit? 

Most HOn30 donors tend to be easily available N scale model brands like Bachmann or Atlas, Bachmann makes a good 0-6-0 chassis in N. Atlas also makes an "Old timer" 2-6-0 that could also be a donor though a bit pricey.

Looks like a scratchbuilt chassis to me.

OK now that I'm back on desktop and can partially actually go to the referenced site. I agree with Ulrich, thats a custom scratchbuilt job, there are similar 3 axle drives in N scale, Bachmanns industrial switcher comes immediately to mind, however it has no siderods,

Atlas/Roco makes (or made) one in European dress that might work as a substitute:

Trainworld.com could be a good source for factory made donor mechanisms; just browse the N scale Bachmann section
