>>1268497Just get anything modern - Heljan Leo for comfy, Bachmann Baldwin for srs. OO9 is plagued with older models which have bad quality motors and old style chassis.
>>1268666>>1268611My 2FS kits in brass exposed me to metalworking, now I'm thinking about getting a Unimat lathe and doing proper live steam. Probably traction engines rather than trains tho - who the fuck has space for a 120' oval
>>1268916It's going to be almost impossible to replace the chassis like-for-like but maybe you can try renovating them for what they are? pic related, started life as a 1970's Lima 33.
