Wow, what a wealth of goodies, Chuck. I have better ones, but their 65 miles away. Actually, it's a bad time to own a train hobby store. Denis

WOW!!! You have a hobby shop that stocks NWSL gearboxes? WOW! Mine has three or four HO train sets and a few pieces of code 100 snap track. And a couple of Lionel starter sets. I envy you. Chuck Peck

Really a very neat little engine, good job! One of the visuals for spotting a coal burner is the space given the smokebox, just in front of the stack. Coal burners were given an "extension" here

Found a spare set of drivers for a Chatt in my junk box today. I see clearly now the little copper thingamajigy that conducts the current from the wheel tread to the axles. Flanges are also a bit

There are plenty of locos manufactured with plastic driver centers. I know of several people who have replaced the smoke cam with an axle gear and powered the loco with no issues. The pickup on the

Thanks Richard, now to watch fleabay! KarlB

Some of us Tyco guys have used a CDROM motor successfully. Just need to grind the block to fit and make a new motor mount and enlarge the pinion gear shaft hole. ------------------------------

Hi Karl, I re-powered one of these a few years ago and it remains one of my best runners. Way back in the 70's, when these things were being made, I bought one. It was my first ever HO loco. Back then

I've looked into doing this conversion myself which is why I was able to list the possible variations on how to do it. My interest is because the Tyco Chatt is actually a pretty good representation of

Why not repower the tender???? Use an Athearn SW7 or a Bachmann 44 or 70 tonner if you want a smaller tender. With the Athearn drive you get flywheels and all wheel pickup. An old issue of Railroad

Bachmann has drivers and frames with drivers quite reasonably priced,I've heard their 2-8-0 is a reliable loco they list complete 2-8-0 mechanism as sold out but they have parts individually,2-8-0 or

Jeff They don't look any frailer than my Rivarossi 0-6-0, and those wheels are plastic with a metal tire too! Karl B

Another possible graft might be a 2-8-0 from IHC. Anybody have one handy to check driver size and wheelbase? Chuck Peck

I'm wondering if the old-time 2-8-0 from Roundhouse/Horizon that came out a few years ago might supply a suitable mechanism. The one I saw run on an LHS test track ran very well out of the box. DM

I didn't realize this was a tender drive with a dummy loco in front of it. ? Alan ________________________________ To: yardbirdtrains@... Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 2:47 PM Subject:

It's not the NWSL gears I'm referring to; its the plastic wheel centers that come with the Chatt 2-8-0 drivers that were originally designed to bear a small amount of weight and no torque. To make a

I have used a Mantua axle and gear from a 0-6-0 and the open frame motor from a Mantua. Still have a long way to go. This is probably easier than using a gear box assembly and the such. I prefer a

Karl, It depends on whether or not you want to use the original drivers or not. They Chatt drivers are a scale 57", which is rare in HO scale. In fact I don't believe there is any other powered HO
