MWaz Get off your duff challenge

[twilight]

Little more work made last night in getting the locomotive ready for DCC. Didn't get to where I hoped to last night and won't get to the club tonight, either. We have a program to attend at my daughter's school tonight that I didn't know about.

Electric tape, Walthers nylon screws, 4-40 3/4 screw(the one in picture has been cut already) and a 2-56 3/4.


I guess at the time when I put the drive together I didn't have any nylon screws and I used a brass screw to secure motor to frame. So, I need to replace this screw with the 2-56 nylon screw. The 4-40 screw is for the mount at rear of motor(not seen in this picture). Sorry, for the blurry picture but threads of brass screw can be seen.


I had to remove the bottom cover plate, so now I am able to show the area that was filed out for the NWSL drive.


I use electrical tape to isolate the motor from the frame.



Last picture, motor is mounted to frame with nylon screws and insulated with electrical tape. Checking for continuity. None found. That means motor is isolated from frame. That's a good thing.
