Installing PS3 boards in a Bachmann 70 tonner | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Has anyone installed PS3 boards in a Bachmann 70 tonner loco? Is it even possible? Considering buying one of these critters and would like the PS3 boards installed so I can run it on my layout. Thanks

The limiting factor is the space between the motors, you'd have to have those specifications to see if the PS/3 diesel board would fit.

The motors are mounted in the trucks so it is impossible There isnt a flywheel available to mount the tach tape They are pretty cool little engines though

Thanks Ben, I never actually saw one of these, so they went the same route as the 44-ton model.

If you're willing to live with TMCC, that will fit and function, it fits in a 44-Tonner.
