Any one have any information on a remotor for the new 44-45 and 70 ton engines by bachman? They seem to not have any torque? Is it motor or decoder? Any help out there? Anyone out there done this?

     You could probably remotor these if you wanted to. I own one of each of these. They all run very well and pull an accurate amount of cars. Don't forget these were never meant to be mainline powerhouses. Unless one of yours is defective they should work fine for light duty switching applications.
