OO gauge Challenger steam engine ScaleCraft - Varney kitbash circa 1950

That's a real classic Carey! I enjoyed your video.

Are those Walthers passenger cars?

Cool.  Looks like you've got some old Tru-scale track and switches?

Carey,

That's really neat! Thanks for sharing. What kind of power supply do you use? Any side by side comparison pictures with the stock Scale-Craft northern?

Hello all ..thank you for your kind words ....I'm using a lab DC generator ... as I was playing with the  Nason Consolidation the day before and being prewar ..runs at about 9 volts ... link to see Nason OO

Passenger cars are Scale Craft ... diecast .and .the post war sheet metal sides ....Walthers never entered into OO   to the best of my knowledge ....

please see images of standard SC Class H Northern ....and the Challenger ..  you can see the the line on the boiler where is was cut  just behind the front sand dome ... about 21/2" was added ... makes a nice engine in my book 

not to shun the SC Northern   here is a link to see a video of it running .

yes that is Tru- Scale track ...works great ...just not quite wide enough radi .....need to find a loop of 36" currently 30" ... the HO loop is also Tru-Track  30" radi ... 

Cheers Carey
