Reply to "MTH D/C Can Motor Worm Drive - Lionel Legacy Mabuchi Liondrive Gear Swap"

      Thank you Albrecht,

     The Lionel motor is the 2.3mm version the MTH has the 2.0MM shaft. I don't own a metal lathe so moving the timing wheel to the MTH motor isn't an option at the moment. The Lionel flywheel is held on with two set screws so I can mount it temporarily and keep going forward with the build while I get the Lionel flywheel part number and ring sorted out.

    The sensor board clearance isn't an issue on this one, it is going into a MTH Premier F59PH #463 with a fairly wide shell. The MTH smoke unit did interfere with the sensor board area however, so I am using the Lionel smoke unit, funnel and brackets from the SD-70. They mount differently than the MTH smoke unit, sitting back just enough to give me all of the room I needed for the Sensor Board and it fits the shell nicer than the stock MTH smoke unit.

   Do you know if it matters which truck motor the sensor board goes on, front or rear?

   The truck power wires leading to the 2019 RCMD board are colored black and black and red, do you know which one goes to the center rail?

   Thank you for the heads up on the flywheel shaft. I completely missed that one, back to the drawing board...
