LOOKS LIKE A VERY REWARDING PROJECT.

Cheers from Michigan

anybody have Kelly's email?

Bob, I sent you an email with the requested addy.

Hi Guys,

My email is kelly.regan@verizon DOT net. Remove the DOT & replace it with a .

I was able to spend a little time working on my model. Two 1/4" aluminum

posts drilled and tapped to accept 4/40 screws make up the radio/dcc

equipment posts that fit the pre-drilled holes in the frame.

I used styrene to test fit the equipment  tray.  Clearance from top of

the tray to the inside top of the loco shell is .95 inches, plenty of room

for batteries etc.

I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas.

just got my frame in todays mail....sweeeeet.  now to get my engine out of the engine house and to the workbench.

Hi Guys,

I just received word that someone that purchased a frame

thinking it would fit with the original stock trucks.

As with the aftermarket brass frame my frame is designed

for the P&D Hobbies drive/trucks.  I am sorry if I did not make

that clear.

If you have ordered a frame thinking it will fit the stock

trucks please email me so I can send you a refund before

I ship your frame.

Kelly, I just bit the bullet and ordered the P&D conversion kit.  im sure this will make this engine run purrrfect

Sounds good Bob, sorry for the confusion. 

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to pass along that the frames are now available online at the link in my signature.  The site is very new and a little sparse on content but it is a work in progress.

Next up will be a gear reduction kit with ball bearing supported replacement towers.  I believe one of the pictures on the site shows the prototype tower on one end of the locomotive. This particulate loco was converted to P48 but that isn't necessary to utilize the gear reduction.
