PSC 4-8-0 N&W Brass Engine

Posted by knewsom on Friday, April 8, 2005 8:32 PM

Does anyone have a Precision Scale 4-8-0 N&W Mastodon? If so, how easy is it to convert to DCC? I found one that I can afford, but I want to make sure that I can convert it to DCC without destroying it. Any other detail on the model is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

PRECISION SCALE ENGINES are high detail ,expensive, brass examples of the art.

Contact THEM for information re DCC conversion. Also ask what is the minimum radius is for this engine. I have found the more precise and expensive the product, the more prototypical the curves it requres..

I decided to get one from a Hobby Shop. TheCaboose.com had them on special for just under $600. Since all of the ones that I have bid on, have gone for more that that, I figured that was a fair deal.

Thanks, Kevin
