More to the point, can a lionel or MTH smoke unit be made to work in a DC G scale 0-4-0?
I ask because O scale parts seem plentiful and affordable compared to dedicated G scale smoke units.
I tried to research this topic but i really cold not find any info on it.
Is there a mod or parts to remove the tire wheels and just run solid wheels?
My track is level and i prefer the solid wheels
Clarification.....
Ok so ive been messing around in G scale for about 5 years now.
ive had the BACHMANN, LGB, ARISTOCRAFT, USA, MDC, LIONEL,PIKO, and MTH rolling stock.
Ive had BACHMANN LGB, ARISTOCRAFT, USA, LIONEL, MTH and KITBASHED engines
I often have to rotate my inventory selling one item to acquire another.
Never had enough money to justify acquiring Accucraft or Aster or the like engines and rolling stock
But i find myself being drawn more and more to the 1/32 end of the scale.
Which seems much harder to find in some ways.
How has the hobby progressed with you?
Apologies in advance for resurrecting an old thread. But this is very much of concern for me since i just sold a custom engine with many fragile brass accessories on it, and am wanting badly to make it survivable from the shipping monkeys.

I while ago i bought some jewelers glasses that have lenses that you can double up on. very helpful with tiny things.
Also a hobby lamp with a center magnifier lens inside of a ring bulb has been super useful.
