(...) Hi Mike, it took maybe 3 hours to convert the first motor. Then I did 2 at a time and needed less than 2 hours to convert 2 motors. An that included all works: making the connecting bushes, opening the housing, drill the needed holes etc. That (...) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

Apart from the concern of running the motor built for 9v at 12v Ben's method requires breaking open the casing, building the 4 contact bushes and fitting them and connecting them internally. He also says "putting things together might be a bit (...) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

As you say this is hardly possible. We did that in 2001 (www.hot.ee/sonnich/lego/ - under galleries you will find the Baltic Train Event), and found it hard (impossible) with curved rails. We used straight rail for a "border" station between the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

While I can't say I like those particular diesels, you definitely got the look of them down. The SNOT work on the model as well is awesome and the way you modeled the roof especially is really sweet. I look forward to seeing pics of it with the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)
