I'm a returning modeller after a career and family; now retired. I noticed the conversion of the J83 chassis for a 104 class 0-4-4T referred to in the early days of this discussion but it disappeared and is only briefly referred to again (above). Can we hear more of it? Did you reduce the height of the motor to fit in the body? If so, how? I'm beginning to model a fictitious branch of the C&O and have nearly completed a scratch-built class 55 Oban bogie begun when I was a callow youth modelling Dalmally.
