Reply to "Improving the Lionel Phantom Locomotive"

Kris, I can't say for sure if it would work.  I happened to have a motor with an identical mounting plate as was used in the Phantom, so I was certain it would work.  I also used the whole motor and truck from the donor locomotive, so there was no issue of matching gears, etc.  The Phantom side frames had the same type of mount as the donor truck, but they had screws and are not the swaged like the donor.  You can see where I ground the swaged side frames off the donor being careful to preserve the square holes that mounted the Phantom side frames.
