Rhys Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a Bachmann Forney that I would like to convert into a tender loco. I have a spare tender from the 2-6-0. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the Backwoods instructions on how to cut the rear end off without removing anything vital/terminal?

The Bigbee Line Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Seems a bit drastic. Might be worth selling the Forney and getting something to make the tender loco (I believe the Forneys got for a good price) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Seems a bit drastic. Might be worth selling the Forney and getting something to make the tender loco (I believe the Forneys got for a good price) Dirt cheap here in the colonies (Either from the US or on the local version of E-bay) I have 3, and 2 are earmarked for local trains, leaving the 3rd for something with a bit more range. ( I also can't see the point of making more work for myself. this is a sideline project rather than my main interest, I just want to have a break) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lacey (92245) Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The following link for NGRM online shows a conversion taking place, so could be worth a look. You may need to register to view, although its a pretty good forum, so the few minutes to register is worthwhile: http://ngrm-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4868-forney-gets-the-chop/ I'm planning on doing a similar conversion, although using the 2-6-6-2 tender. Cheers, Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
