Thanks Mj,
I was just curious to see if a credible Mich-Cal #2
can be made with the Bachman as a basis. It looks very close.
Thanks again,

I'm working on a mich cal conversion for the bachmann shay using the brass cab kit made by keith weismann (www.locopainter.com) They may not be listed on his website but they can often be found on ebay and are probaly available direct. They are very nice.

Dave,
I had the same idea,
the Weismann castings look great but I don't
know if I want to spend $1oo.oo on them.
I may just try to use styrene and scratch a cab and
oil and water tank.
Thanks for the reply

Thanks "M"
I must have missed that article.
If you remember, please post the month of the article,
I have Al Armitage's plan book for M-C#2, but articles by Jim
and Laurie on this are always worth reading
Thanks again guys
