I recently purchased six of the Athearn SD45T-2. I had to test run a lot of these units at three different hobby shops before I found six units that ran without a lot of motor noise in both directions. These are great looking units. But, the motor performance, noise, etc., leaves a lot to be desired. I operate on a DCC layout, and generally re-motor by engines with can motors to keep things consistent. The SD45T-2 model uses the engine weight as the motor housing/support. Does anyone have thoughts on how to re-motor one of thes models without having to undertake a lot of modification? I would appreciate any suggestions. I am new to these forums. Thanks.
