Good Luck, Morpar
QUOTE: Originally posted by Morpar I'm finally back to working on my old Rivarossi cab-forward to normal loco conversion (I'm taking styling cues from the SP AC-9 locos). I have the new motor mounted along with the reduction gearboxes and it all works on the test stand. This loco has the good-old large flanges, which makes sense for a $25 used loco! I have tried to find replacment newer drivers for this loco to no avail, so I guess that I am down to modifying the stock drivers to an RP-25 (or close) profile. I know others have done this, so are there any suggestions on the best way to accompli***his? Trying to file down 16 drivers by hand with the mechanism turning seems like a huge pain, especially after I set the thing up to only go a maximum of 75 scale mph! My lathe will not chuck up on something as small as the axle, and I'm not sure if it will chuck up on the drivers themselves either. Any other suggestions would be appreciated, as this is the next step in the building of this loco. Thanks, Morpar
