I've been watching MDC on eBay for the last couple years.  Not much shows
up.  There have been a couple Big Hustler's, but both went for more than I
thought they were worth.  I think the mechanism is the same as used in the
MDC speeder, which uses an HO 12 VDC max motor.  A guy was selling MDC Big
Hustler body parts last winter, that one could perhaps use with a speeder
chassis.  On the other hand, several Aristo and USA Trains power trucks
repeatedly show up on eBay.  It would be a very easy kit bash project to
build simple chassis from Evergreen plastic shapes, or kit-bash the engine
compartment and cab from an old Atlas O-scale 0-C-0 diesel switcher onto an
Aristo or USA power truck, and have a better product.  Geezer

There are two currently on eBay - search g gauge for MDC.  Geezer
