Friends at Lugnet.Trains I have a question.
When I work at the Lego Store some people ask me about the Super Cheif.
They want to know if it is motorized and I tell them the model is not, but,
it can be modified to run as other Lego Trains do.
So, can anyone point us to some reference pictures?

I believe the instructions in the set include how to motorize it. So if you
have one copy around that you can open up and build, you could then show
people the instructions.
Instruction scans won’t be on BrickShelf until after the set is long out of
production, presumably.
Hope that helps. I don’t offhand know of anyone that has documented the
process, but it’s very straight forward, it just involves shortening the fuel
tank so that the rear truck is replaced with a motor.

Ahh, I get it, and good idea, I may ask about a demo model for the floor then.
Thank you!
