I am interested in the regearing kits offered by Ernst for Athearn locomotives (they gear them down considerably for finer slow speed control, cooler running, etc.) I would like to try one in an SW1500 and in a GP38-2. The list of their kits I looked up showed one only for an SW9/1200, but the company sent me a mailing listing that same kit as the correct application for an SW1500. That doesn't jive with their information in the Walther's catalog and elsewhere out there. Has anybody tried these? I would like to know if the kit for switchers will actually work in an SW1500, and if anything can be done to adapt one to a GP38-2. Thanks for the help.
