My dad built a 15" gauge switcher using an army surplus Wisconsin 2 cylinder (baler motor), a vw punkin, a 3 speed chevy crash box an a nissan rear gears. The thing has been described as looking like 2 packing boxes riding on pie tins..but OTOH it has been rode hard and put away wet every summer for 20 years with darn little trouble (we change the oil and adjust the clutch occasionally).
