Bachmann N Scale 4-8-4 CB&Q Upgrade
Posted by CB&Q4-8-4Fanatic on Sunday, August 2, 2009 2:41 PM

I would like to upgrade a Bachmann N Scale CB&Q 4-8-4. I would like to replace its open frame motor with a can motor preferably a canon dc micro motor. Is this possible? What else could I try?

If you ran a no car train on no track, how long would it take to derail?

I stumbled across this when I was looking at possibly remotoring my N scale Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0;
