(...) Yeah, I kind of thought it might be hard to open the motor without damaging it. I guess I'll bite the bullet and get one so I can try it. That means of course I'll have to buy about 20 service packs worth of track (-: (...) I saw that some (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thank you. The best part is that it gives one more room with which to work and provides more opportunity to model more prototypically, IMHO. If that is what one is into, and I am. As far as rethinking goes, I personally find it easier. It's (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Mike, That is a good idea, IMO to turn the modules sideways to give yourself extra room. I am doing the same think in my home layout of 5 modules.

(...) The consensus is that it is possible, and in fact, I think someone has done it. See Brian's green German train in the GMLTC NMRA show pics (various sites). It is impure(1) to do so as opening up the motor irreparably damages it (but not in a (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
