Here's what I had:
Its a small Goose built on an LGB Handcar unit, it work OK but was never a very good slow speed runner, and during the Nat Narrow Gauge Conv while running it decided to commit hari-kiri in a delicious cloud of Ozone. So I have been looking for a replacement drive since August, nothing really seamed right and I decided to not use another handcar chassis. I found for auction on Fleabay a drive block and sideframes from a USA 20 tonner that looked like it would work well as a replacement, luckily I won it, and once it arrived I immedialty looked and all it needed was to shorten the side frames. I was even able to reuse the frames mounting holes into the Goose body. It didnt even need to be repainted:
