Reply to "Weaver Diesel 2-Rail?"

If you have an early weaver with the single motor drive, it is very easy to convert to 2 rail. 

The single motor drive 3 rail units had the same wheel pickups as the 2 rail units.    Conversion requires replacing the wheelsets, and rewiring the unit.     For 2 rail DC the wiring is very simple,   The wire from one side pickups goes to one side of the motor, and the wire from the other side pickups from  go to the other side of the motor.   You do not need any electronics for straight DC operation.

P&D Hobbies has stocked replacement wheelsets.    I don't know if they have any in stock right now.

Wow, that's great. I'll look into it. Thanks!
