I rather like that.

Three Dog Night rather passed me by except for Shambala and Mother Told me not to Come but I might give them a listen later.

I'm in the process of doing a coreless conversion myself on one of these, but I'm using the Micromotor kit rather than the Tramfabriek one. It comes with a housing that replicates the shape of the original motor, which IMO makes it easier to get the right offset for the worm gear.

The reason I haven't fitted it yet is that I want to fit a Zimo MX615 decoder as well, but need to gather up the courage to solder those tiny wires!  :worried:

My wife says I seem to have a knack of influencing games by turning on during a game, as invariably someone scores within a minute or two. Turned onto Ecuador last night as they were setting up a corner......just saying!

Turkey's goal @98:45 with +7 was one of the most ridiculous losses I've seen in a while.

Quote from: trkilliman on Yesterday at 08:20:28 PMA 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.
