A friend has moved up to O gauge due to his eyesight not so good as it was.
He has given me a whitemetal kit and chassis as in the subject title.
I have made up the body and cleaned up the gunk that was around the chassis cogs.
I'll look to buy a Tramfabriek replacement motor for it if it's not too large for the 13xx body?. Has anyone done this?
I'd be grateful for any advice, such as any problems encountered and how to solve them.
Thanks
Steve

yes--ive done one, it was my first attempt at a coreless conversion. Unfortunately i got it wrong--the position of the worm wasnt quite right . THe result is it runs beautifully forwards--but reverse means the loco body lifts up leans over and frog hops along.
