I've thought about scratchbuilding one before for the Back of Beyond. Shouldn't be too tricky as it's mostly simple angles. Apparently they were fairly rubbish though, being too high and heavy, not to mention mechanically unreliable. |

So…is it worth the time and effort to make one if it lasts five minutes before conking out, no doubt at a particularly inopportune moment somewhere up the NW Frontier or down Mexico way? Just a thought |

I'm working on the Tiger I master this weekend Neil. |

Sure why not? It'd be fun and quirky. |

Trivia: The Thomas B. Jeffery company became Nash Motors in 1916/1917, and the Jeffery Quad became known as the Nash Quad thereafter.
McKenzie Iron & Steel does the Jeffery/Nash Quad Truck in 1/48 scale for the model railroading community: creative-works.ca/mckenzie
The bare-bones chassis is $85, so it wouldn't be a cheap starting point. Ouch!
All you really need to start scratchbuilding are those distinctive wheels, and I bet some other model railroad company makes similar wheels, available separately. |

For what it's worth, if someone makes these for sale, I'll buy at least one. |
