A number of years ago, I started modeling an 0n30 layout based on the Robbins RR /Thunder lake lumber company, In Northen Wisconsin.  I was drawn to the size ( being a former S gauger) and was surprised how close they were.  I ended up converting several AF cars to On30, after seeing what I was doing, A close friend, (The late Jim Brown, A former president of B.S.G.) , converted several Bachmann  0 narrow gauge  cars to S scale.  Have any of you done this?

I have converted a few Bachman Spectrum wooden reefers from On30 to S gauge. I used the trucks and couplers from American models and modified the car's under frame to let the trucks sit lower/closer to the floor.

He used ACE trucks, and was unsure the company even existed any more.  I have been out of scale since 93, and a lot has changed. these spectrum cars, would  make a nice train behind a couple of Rex engines
