My latest madcap idea for more moving road vehicles is to see if I can alter the n gauge Tomytec bus to power a 4mm truck, the Tomytec bus is on examination almost a Faller copy to a degree, the front axle whilst not the same is similar using 1mm brass pins for the wheel attachment, five minutes after opening the box the rear axle was out and swapped for a Faller one with larger wheels.
As far as I know the Tomytec operates exactly the same as a Faller vehicle, in so much as the reed switch etc, but also has another reed switch in it as a 'slow down' before stop, needing an extra magnet for this. (I need to pick up some LR44 batteries tomorrow to check this out for myself).
So if it's not possible to regauge the Tomytec front axle I'll just add in one of my usual Faller ones, should be fairly simple....he says!
Best bit, a complete Tomytec chassis is approx £18 plus post from Japan. So even if I need a new front axle it should prove a pretty cheap way of doing a couple of 'smaller' trucks.
Anyway a quick pic to give an idea......
TBC!
