3RS Legacy K4 Doubleheader | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Norm CharbonneauOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

A couple of Legacy K4s with minor 3RS mods. The 3667 was bought from the buy/sell on here a few months ago for a very good price with some minor issues. I got it cleaned up and found it to be ok. I added an auxiliary power tether to both of these engines to help keep them alive over turnout gaps. These engines had the annoying feature of needing to be power cycled to restore sounds if the tender lost power momentarily. I modified a Kadee 700 series coupler for the 3667’s pilot to couple up for doubleheading. Here’s some phone shots and a YouTube link (can never seem to embed these right):

Fantastic work Norm!

Purchased some of GunrunnerJohns battery replacements to stop that annoying sound drop out issue.

Thx man. I needed a power jumper for the engines too, now they can crawl over anything.

Really nice norm! Can you explain how you modified the kadee 700 coupler to fit on the pilot of the rear K4?

Well done, as always Norm.

Really nice. Maybe someday I'll get my two Legacy K4s done but they will never look as good as yours.

Thx you guys. DJ, I cut down a 746. It’s a bit floppy but does the job:
