Thanks Lutz and Sumpter!
That will be useful some day. Motors and electricity are place where I rarely venture in this hobby. I feel like I'll have to try my hand at it soon if I want to make want I want.
Thinking about it cost wise, I think maybe an old Southern Pacific 0-6-0 brass engine could be a good start for this project. If your had all the brass details to add to the MDC shell, fells like cost will be rather similar. Both will need the same mechanical upgrade and one is easier to work with and already more detailled... and I almost swore I would never go brass!
