Hi Darth,
Another interesting build! Thankyou.
I'm not sure if I could stand the noise from the original drivetrain for very long. Your suggestion of converting it to a belt drive is very good.
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
That Boxcab track cleaner, Boxcab with out track cleaning mechanism and the Climax were fun builds in the past. So my answer is two hours, seventeen minutes and forty seconds.
i have the same boxcab [without the track cleaning] and find it's quite a bit quieter than yours is .. the interior mecanism is identical ...
Excellent video, as usual. I learned how to adjust a diecast flywell, among other things. I applaud your efforts to work with the original mechanisms. For mine, I used a Bachmann 44 tonnner mechanism to replace the original. Way more quiet and much faster. But there is something to say about a model that works with its stock mechanism, especially when it comes to MDC! Noisy, but original.
