First off, I suppose anybody with a roll of tape, felt tipped marker, and a scrap of paper can write anything they want and tape it to the end of a 3rd Rail box.

I called Accucraft, they were amazed....since their involvement in 0 is somewhat limited to 0n30/0n3 stuff.
I sent the link off, and they are checking around to see.
The closest is a GP-60 in 1:29-ish (Goofy Gauge) that was just announced last week as going into production.

I'll report back when we get further details.....but as bad as that unit is, I wouldn't want to even try.
Could you do it? Yes. Would it be worth the effort? I don't think so.
New real sideframes, hatches, lights, lenses, screens, fuel and air tanks, doors, door hardware, unsolder and resolder..then what?

Yup. You suppose right.

I've not ever heard of Accucraft doing brass O, but then what do I know - I am but an egg.

Curious as to what you uncover.

Might as well just scratchbuild one...........

What a waste of brass.

It can always serve as a bad example.....
