Tomytec, buddy. Tomytec. Plastic frame, removable sideframes, dual flywheels, 8x8 drive and pickup, cut and splice a chassis to the exact length you need. Different truck wheelbases available, inside bar or outside end-axle pickups. Other than you don't have a cast frame to fight with, equal to Kato in performance.My doodlebug got Bachmann white gear disease and spilled its wheels right out of the box. Never ran right anyway. This is what was parked on the siding at Trunkeyville on my T-trak module at Altoona, looks like any other Bachmann doodlebug....but it's not.
A HOn30 modeler asked me about a power chassis because the Kato chassis cost too much. So I checked ebay and there are 11-103 chassis asking $104, even amazon has them for like $85. These things used to be $17-19 all day.Wonder why they went up so high?
Don't think so:https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xkato+11-103.TRS0&_nkw=kato+11-103&_sacat=0
I'm not sure any of these are the new version. But the old ones even an "expensive" on was like $25. It is like overnight all the prices went way up.
