Davenport Chassis
This chassis is the fastest and most heavy-duty. Based on prototype measurements of a Davenport 35 ton, it measures 32" long, 15" wide. The standard wheelbase is 12". Two 350 watt motors provide ample power, top speed is just under 9mph. I have used mine to pull seven cars up a 3% grade on a 35' radius curve.
I have extra rods available, and Larry used a set to build dummy cylinders. This dockside is so neat I'm considering making a kit for it, let me know if you're interested.
Peter built this nice center cab steam outline, called the 'goat'. Read more about his adventures in 7.5" railroading here: http://calvertcentral.com/
