What is this fixation on trying to use ANYTHING from a 44-tonner to create a
45-tonner? Exceptperhaps for a few detail parts, it simply won't work--the cab
is lower (and wider) and the frameis conspicuously shorter (5'-6'--and that is
a LOT). In S scale scratchbuilding is the only wayto go, probably using an HO
standard gage diesel drive.
