I have a small switching layout and would like to get a Custom Finishing Trackmobile(not the new one),when looking at it the idea poped into my head.Is it possible to power one of those things or is it too small?

Overland has a powered one coming out, so I'd say it is possible to do. Maybe you could use a NWSL power truck or if the Bachmann Spectrum 44 tonner with two separate motors can be modified to lower the overall height of the power trucks, you might be able to use that. Whatever you decide, let us know. I'd like to have one of these, too.

What type of NWSL power truck would you suggest?
