O-Scale Trains & 1:43

Post by CoachBamBam » Fri Dec 29, 2017 9:42 pm

Hi All,

New to the forum and am having a lot of trouble sourcing the info that I hope to find. We have a Lionel Train that only comes out at Christmas time. I would like to add a road system for this scale and 1:43 seems to fit the bill. The problem is that I would like to transform a 1:43 road car into a self propelled one that uses a magnet on the front steering axles (where do I find that?) that follows the guy wire and a drive/gear system that is battery powered for the back. I have seen a few youtube videos but none of them have a "parts" list so to speak, so I am hoping someone here may be able to steer me in the right direction.
