Some one asked me a while back about "Modern" power in 55n3 here is my findings on the D&RGW K-27 in Scale55:
![[Image: k-27.jpg]](http://www.55n3.org/image/k-27.jpg)
The Bachmann On30 2-8-0 matches the K-27 plans in the June 1973 Model Railroader.
It has been done in Large Scale, I never realized that the Bachmann 2-8-0 was converted to a smaller scale K-27.

William D. Hemmeter/Dave Fletcher have done it in Large Scale. Their article can be found at:

The On30 Bachmann 2-8-0's are going for $90 so you could have a 55n3 K-27 for under $200 easy.
What is 55n3:

We will have more on "Modern" narrow gauge in the future.
Thank you if you visit
