not quite sure if you were thinking about my CAT-style forklift truck on rails (http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=2055.0) ... or if you were thinking about a REAL caterpillar which had been converted to a REAL narrow gauge engine (don't remeber that) ...
Cheers
EDIT: oops, seems Chuck found the right one while I was typing?!
OK, so what am I missing?
The only thing I remember from Myrick's #2 is an aborted attempt to install a Holt (60?) engine in an old worn out standard gauge 4-6-0 by the Ludlow and Southern.

That's the one I was thinking of.
As my wife said "you never look" and then said have you looked in your Caterpillar books so panic over - Gerald yes it is the big type of Cat and thanks Chuck for the book info'
