Hi James, thanks for sharing your design ideas! Looks great, except the tiny little 12V wheels - as Gianluca already said. Such a huge loco needs 9V wheels and the motors will go underneath the cars! Your Santa Fe loco will be a good partner for my (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, I have just obtained a set 7722 MISB. I'm thinking of converting this little steam engine to 9V to pull my BricWorx 3-car passenger set. Or should I buy one of the new 'My Own Train' locomotive kits and utilize this to pull my train? How (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
