Since
I had a couple of old Hallmark Plated Brass E-5 A&B sets, I
wanted to see if I could make a respectable model out of them.
There are some short-comings on the model, that can't be avoided,
but this is where I ended up. I just used the shell and stripped
down frame. I modified and repowered the frame with an Atlas/Kato
motor w/two hole mount, figured out a way to mount Proto 2000 E-6
trucks, made new drive shafts, drilled a bunch of holes in the
shell for grab-irons and used Micro Scale E-5 decals. I also did
the #9912 A&B using the same procedure which now gives me the
last 3 operating E-5's on the roster in 1964.
Any chance you could provide a photo or two of the power frame
with the shell removed? I've got the Hallmark model as well, have
been looking to convert a complete P2K power frame for the
Hallmark shell to fit it, am just ready to try this. If you have a
better method, I wouldn't mind seeing it.
Thx
