I will drop them a note too. Canada only had a few 0-6-6-0's on the CPR in the
early 1900's but I guess I could put an Elesco Feedwater Heater and vestibule
cab on it and call it a Canadian National Pacific experimenter, LOL.
If Lionel won't come out with scale drivers, a person could always do what
HOer's did in the past with Rivarossi flanges. Turn the loco over, run it at
medium speed and carefully use a mill file, checking with your NASG gauge as
you go. I know this isn't acceptable to some of the purists on this list but
it does work. I have done it on some of the AM locos with their 'scale' wheels
and they still run fine.
Driver width is another matter though.
cheers and Merry Christmas,
