Just saw an article on Making a whimsical vehicle to run on large scale track from a battery powered toy truck. The rubber tires are replaced with “G” scale train wheels. The brand was " STOMPER" but other brands are available. Have any of you tried this? if so , any tips. They are supposed to run an hour on one AA battery. The bodies are not to scale, but you could build your own body. Jerry

Heres a couple of posts about it, just do a search for "stomper"s
I used the stomper base from a 1:20 perspective and built a light inspection car.
It goes a little too fast for my taste, but it is fun.
There use to be a group called “ARE YOU NUTS”.
They would kit bash anything into something.
I do not know if they are still in circulation.
They were a great bunch of G scale dreamers and creators.
It was actually called A.W.N.U.T.S. and has been resurrected at
