Reply to "Old Driver Identification and New Locomotive"

Outdoor2RailOGR Forum Member

BOB2 and STEPHEN BLOY and everyone else, thanks for the replies. It looks like a frame , Trucks and Siderod replacement among other things will be in order to get this old girl looking right. Below is more photos showing how far off MTH was on the driver size.

As far as I can tell the tender isn't to shabby and the basic body of the locomotive is not to bad either, still a lot of mods will be in store for it. I just hope I will be up to the task and with this forums help I will. Hopefully I will be able to produce a locomotive I will be proud of.

I tested it in 2 rail mode and it ran half way decent even with my Old Lionel ZW for power that I converted to do DC 2 Rail.

Best Regards

Robert
