RE: [CBQ] Upgrading an HO NPP 4-6-0

[Gerald Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

there was an extensive step-by-step article in an early CB&Q His. Soc. 'Zephyr' 
issue - can dig mine out this w/e but I think you were a mbr then Ray; ck your 
archives.  The common complaint when many of us acquired the $99 NPP K's was 
the poor can motor, everything else was/is fine.   I've used mine several times 
albeit with a short train

Subject: [CBQ] Upgrading an HO NPP 4-6-0


  





Just wondering if anyone has upgraded the motor for a NPP 4-6-0. I have a 
couple of these and the run "OK". I would like to change out the open frame 
motor for a can motor for better slower speed control and overall better 
performance.
If anyone had done so, can you let me (and anyone else) know what motors were 
used. Hopefully without having to change out the gears. Would that same motor 
also work on the NPP 2-6-2?
Thanks
