The Gauge Explains Building AN On30 Class A Climax

In the words of Ken Smith “I wanted a backwoods Class A Climax for use as a MOW engine on my Tall Timber Railroad. I also wanted this loco to look like she was nearing the end of her useful life. Finally, I wanted to be able to build a loco without a huge investment like some of the brass counterparts available in On30.”

An excellent article at The Gauge will show you how you can convert an Athearn SW 7 into an On30 Class A Climax. This is a very simple conversion that one with basic skills can accomplish. You need only simple tools and glue, nothing else. Check out this model railroading article at http://www.the-gauge.com/
