shortliner Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 ....... An Athearn HO Budd RDC-2 Dummy or bodyshell that is looking for a home? It MUST be Athearn and an RDC-2 as it is going to be cut about and drastically shortened - the Proto ones are much too long. If you have such a thing please send me a PM - I'm putting this on here as it is too specialised for "Sales and Wants" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Craig Watson Posted August 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2016 It's a pair of RDC-3's that I have, the old rubber band drive one and a dummy but they're in bits!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 The fact that they are in bits wouldn't matter at all - but I really need the RDC-2 with the plain sides at one end - trying to change the sides would be a real bu99er. Many thanks for lookinmg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Jack, are you sure the sides of a 3 won't suffice, or is the location of the baggage door the deal breaker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Basically what I want to do is to make something like this - a much-cut-down Budd RDC-2 - I don't think The RDC-3 side will cut down and fit to make the non-passenger part of it - unless somebody knows different This is the RDC-3 and I think the extra door/windows in the plain end will cause problems This is the RDC-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I see what you're after now. I'll have a dig but I think the old Athearn one I have is a 3 as well. I do have a 2 but its Triang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 I may have located one - thanks to one of our readers - but I won't know till it arrives - Heaven knows what trying to convert a Triang one would be like - not sure if they were HO or OO. It may eventually come down to trying a hack-up of an RDC-3 - but I hope not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robatron86 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think the RDC-3 sides will work fine (Cue sloppy cut and shut picture) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 You may well be right - I thought the same earlier and sent a message to Craig and one to Andrew - I forsee some cut-and-shut in my future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The thing that intrigues me is, aside from "for the fun of it", why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 As you say - for the fun of it, and also I have a track plan which includes a tramway that needs a short passenger-carrying vehicle - I could use a short carriage and a loco, but this seemed ideal for the purpose - see Wichards Wharf SMT July 92 and Port Able MTI-8. It is one of those" I Fancy Trying a ......" rather like a transfer caboose - just something that I have and no-one else would want! CRAIG AND ANDREW - PLEASE IGNORE THE "YOU HAVE MAIL" POSTS - THE PACKAGE THAT ARIVED HAD AN RDC-3 IN IT, AND I THINK THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
