Bowser USRA Lt Mikado, Deluxe Kit build
#70
Good luck on the motor replacements. Maybe you'll be able to find either a nice can or coreless replacement. The shaft speed is important with either, since you already have the gearing.

I picked up my motor with gearhead from: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://micro-loco-motion.com/home.html">http://micro-loco-motion.com/home.html</a><!-- m -->

He might have a $10 can for you...and perhaps a sample coreless for $10...try the coreless in one and the can in the other.

I'm currently distracting myself from buying a Bowser by starting an NKP caboose. 7 years ago I measured the real thing and started to build it in scratch in HO. I then put it aside when I lost my 20+ sheets of notes. I recently acquired a book which has provided the missing info, and I'm starting over from scratch since my skills have improved. This particular caboose <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.765.org/photos/141gallery/">http://www.765.org/photos/141gallery/</a><!-- m --> spent many years behind USRA light 2-8-2s! I really should save my money for either repower HO locomotives or On3 projects...so hopefully this will get that HO bug out of me that I've contracted from you!

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
