Same here. I may have to work with 2 scales to accomplish this goal however. A lot of these engines are near impossible to find in HO hopefully BLI and MTH will change that.

I was born and raised in PA...So that why I love PRR plus there awsome Prototype trains they built ...
I'll be posting more pics and video of my T-1 tonight.." mce_src="">
Any of you guys ever had troubles with the motors arking off the drive wheels??? the wheels have alittle slop from side to side.. when the train runs it starts to hit the armmiture of the motors..any ideas to solve this proublem..??Just want to fix this for temp until I get a new motor to remotor and redrive line the T-1..
You can take the red Kaydee spacer washers and notch them so you can snap them over the axles and remove the side to side slop to keep the wheels from touching the motor. Mike
LHS mechanic and geniune train and antique garden tractor nut case!
Yeah, I had that problem with the rear motor. I used some thin plastic (like plastic bubble packaging) to make a small spacer/insulater between the motor and wheel. The only problem left that I have is the front truck derailing sometimes.

I think I got it fixed.. had to reline the motors on there rear ...Dave I'd found pics of the T-1 pulling freight....Most done that at there end times before hitting the scrap piles..now she's running like a well oiled machine.....no derailing eighter.. in order to have this train running on 18" bowser forgot too add to remove the ends inside and outsides trucks wheels on the tender..now she can fly around the curves with no proublems.. later on I'll get 22"+ curves...money is tight ....
I'm sorry about that dave...Planning on getting a softwear that you speak into and it types it out for you..I hate typing..Dave I've found pics of T-1 sitting to be scaped and a freight one.. It's sad too..' mce_src=''>' mce_src=''>' mce_src=''>' mce_src=''>
For anyone who might be interested, Bowser has temporarily restocked the 4-4-4-4 kits, as well as the mechanism kits for the Bachmann K-4, GS-4, and Niagara.
