#262 assembly
Love to see it run!
Yes, GREAT work! I would love to know whether it runs smoother and slower than it did with the original AC motor. Video please!!
Also: I recall that you did a similar mod to a Lionel 2036. How has that one held up in the 5(?) years since! Thanks for sharing!!
Please find atatched video with #262 DC converted on the track. I think it's running way smoother that orginal AC motor (
definetelly less clunky noise). I'm sorry for the quality on the video but my son is now crazy about this engine and I can't get much accesss to it, I did what I can for now to get recoreded just few moments with engine in motion.
BTW
My DC converted Lionel 2036 is runnig very well, so many years and no problem with it at all.
