Cor, great conversion! Ron, Here is a couple of mine I recommend a heavy weight in the boiler as well. Thanks Roo.

Thanks for the pictures

Nice build, but what are the side on the lead tender truck for? I've never seen anything like that before.

hi Matt

it's a booster (an extra set of cilinders) ,to give more pulling power for a short time

with the 3 cilinders and it's booster i had a traction effort off 89000lb (without booster 750000lb)

i have scanned a model railroader from 1971, for those who wants to put more details on it

Hi Guys

Since the original motor designed for this kit does not seem to available any longer does anyone know what currently available motor will work with this Kit ?

Thanks

is it only the motor you are missing?

the motorising kit was with the wheels with a steel rim and pick ups.

all pictures and text in red on the manual are the extras who came in the motorising kit 

any 12v motor will do fine, i have put a faulhaber in it, a bit larger then the origional , but with some try and error it is posible

post some pictures ,its easyer to see what your problem is

Cor

Hi I can post pictures but all I have is literally many bags (and I mean LOTS of bags - according to the shipping weight 6 pounds of them - supposedly enough for 5 engines and 1 tender) of plastic only parts with 95% of all the pieces still on the sprue  I needed your instructions just so I could start to sort all the various pieces out. I think they may have even included parts from other kits LOL  There are no metal parts at all (no wheels, pickups, wires etc) so I imagine I would need what AHM would call the entire motorized kit. If metal parts are needed I am missing them

Thanks

best thing to do can be , buy annother one

here you have one (i think cheap) , and maybe there are forum members who can help you on this 

otherwise you have a shelf queen.

if it is the model you like, you can take a look on the www and look for a KMT , i believe, they made a brass one

how i know, i have 3 of them and doing a remotering on them

Cor

To run the locos you need this. Roo.

and this is what you can expect in that litle box

exept the rod's these are a part off the basic kit

Cor

Hi Moonlicht

I rechecked definitely no metal parts. So it looks like its a shelf queen and a parts box item  (lots of parts LOL)  OH Well  I might be able to buy a damaged working similar model and kit bash this to fit on the chassis but that is a project for an other time

Thank you for all your effort on my behalf

happy to help, pitty you are not able to build it as planned.

sucses for a running gear

Cor

Yes it's a bit sad you can't get it up and running they look good on the track crawling slowly through a maze of turnouts but then I suppose Brass one's are the same except I've never seen a brass locomotive in standard O scale and probably never will. I can live without them, I have plenty of Rivarossi 0-8-0 kits to play with and the layout is completely diesel for operations. Roo.

Yes - they are beautiful models, and in the proper scale for the track gauge.  But motorizing them does little to make them better.  You would really need a better engine bed and metal drivers, with a good NWSL gearbox and an 8000-series Pittman or equivalent.  I had one, motorized, and loved the detail, but as a runner it sucked.

The KTM version is 1/4" scale, and not as well detailed, but it will run better. They are showing up at around $450 on eBay.
