Re: [CBQ] S-2 Pacific

["Robert Herrick" <rdherrick@gmail.com>]

With respect to old brass steam locos and open frame motors, Mark Guiffre at All Brass Workshop left the original open frame motor in my NPP K-2 because he said it ran just fine and he is a stickler. NPP was using can motors by the time they imported the R-1 Prairie so no conversion was needed. Mark installed DCC sound and lights in both of them and tuned them up, e.g. requartering if necessary. I cant tell the difference in their running abilities. The lesson learned is to have a qualified brass mechanic check the mechanism before ordering unnecessary work.

My humble opinion and your mileage may vary, of course.
