Decauville inspired 0-4-0 bash

[lab-dad]

After falling in love with all the Decauville locos posted in the recent month
I thought I might build one......sort of.......
After staring at them I thought I might be able to use a Bachmann Gas mechanical (On30) as the basis.
I milled most of the frame away from the Gas/mech.
Made a boiler (cover).
And fabricated the cab.
The cab is a little long for the proportions to be right
Will see if I can even come close on the piston and valve linkages.
The saddle tanks will be solid brass, that should make up for the weight loss.





with two locos going updates on this may be slow.

How can you start two loco builds at almost the same time? You are NUTS! -- Russ

Kewl.  When you get to making the pistons, valves and such, how about a second pair? .....though mine don't need to be working......but it is what is holding up my O&K-Porter-Decauville abandoned loco.
