tripleo posted:Kind of along these same lines.....sort of. I have a M10005 in excellent cosmetic shape and it does run reasonably good. However, I would like to use it in an automated store display and what has been holding me back is the "fat tire" through the turnouts. What I have been thinking about is pulling the Marx innards and powering it with a Beep motor and running gear. Haven't done a thing to start this project, just kind of thinking it over. Any comments?
Just find a smokeless 666 or 1666 or 400 or 490 with a double reduction motor. Those motors can be swapped into the streamliner with little trouble, once you swap the front mount and remove the stud on the rear drivers that holds the drive rod. All it takes is a screwdriver, dykes, and pliers. Much simpler than a Beep transplant.
333 is a six axle motor and will not fit.
