Reply to "Stevenson 0-6-0 Build"

Pete - thanks for the quick reply with the motor info.  I'm in luck 2 ways.

  • The Mabuchi FS-395PH motor will fit in the relatively narrow firebox of my 50+ year old Max Gray PRR D16sb.
  • I was able to purchase a new motor on the bay for under $14 shipped.

When the motor arrives, I'll fabricate a motor mount and use a NWSL drive shaft coupling set to mate the previously upgraded NWSL ball bearing gearbox to the Mabuchi motor shaft.  Then it's on to up-detailing the locomotive, painting, and installing DCC/sound. The story be far shorter if Sunset imported a PRR D16sb built to today's detail standards.

I thought anything Max Gray, KTM, US Hobbies was really good stuff!…..Sunset makes a beautiful model, but just for looking at, ……😉
