Lutz! Great tutorial! You gave me hope!
It's exactly the model I was looking forward. My prototype is MLW, who often used ALCO design in Canada, it's probably why both have similarities.
I would feel bad to bash a brass loco! Though I know our good Doc doesn't mind that kind of surgery! Anyway, brass or MDC, both will major mechanical overhaul.
You said you used the modern plastic version.I guess all modifications you did are also possible with the all-metal 50s version. According to your tutorial, gear ration was different between the all-metal and the palstic version?
