I would use the Northwest short line kit.You will have to mill the frame for the motor to fit properly.You will have to hardwire everything which will have to be soldered.I would also get the NWSL shaft kit to replace the noisy Athearn shafts.All in all not a bad job.You will need a rotary tool to do the milling.A line also makes a kit to replace the athearn motor.Dan
