I am new to the hobby and would appreaciate your help with repowerting a few bluebox engines I acquired already.
I bought some old bluebox engines, most of them are Bo-Bo, some Co-Co, do you know if this micro-mark dirve system is enough to repower them?

If yes, what other things do I need? For example, is the Universal Coupling Kit necessary? Can I use the old trucks?
- is there a tutorial to do the 5-wire system to improve Athearn locos?
- If planning to do some repaint, would Crayola Washable Paint in 16 oz bottles work?
Many Thanks!
