I have 2 old Tyco 2-8-0's that have been turned into dummies. The "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" tender drives were swapped out for regular tenders, headlights wired, then repainted. Useless, but impressive when tacked onto the rear of a train at shows. Folks always wanted to know how I got the "helper" to run so well with the lead engines.?
Anyhow, the show days are over, so I was wondering what the best way to power them was? ?There is a space in the frame for a gearbox, but no gear on the axle. NWSL parts? Or is there an already powered chassis that will fit? ?(Mantua, Bowser, etc?)
