WANTING TO BUY Roundhouse boxcab - sailormatlac - 06-29-2015

Hi,

I'm actually looking for an old MDC/Roundhouse diesel boxxcab locomotives. To be precise, I'm looking for one which has doors on each ends.

This is for a kitbashing project and I'll remotor completely the locomotive.To be honest, a junker, a kit with missing parts or whatever, as long the boxcab shell is there would be good enough for this project.

Also, I know the 3-n-1 Battle Mountain Galloping Goose kit had the right shell with end doors. That could be an alternative.

You can send me a PM.

Best regards,

Matt

Thanks Jack.
Have you ever used that mechanism? I'll need excellent slow speed performance for my project. Speed range would be 0-10mph.

Best regards,

Matt
