A source of hon3 spoked drivers. http://motorbogies.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_21 Country: Australia | Posts: 672 adrian_batey Crew Chief Posted - 04/30/2012 :  11:40:15 PM       Last night i did my first of what will be a few Bachmann 70ton to hon3 conversions. My loco is now back together and running on hon3 in about 3 hours. I think the second will only take about an hour. Anyway the conversion is very simple and not to expensive to try. Getting a 70ton loco for about $45 of ebay and then the conversion parts from NWSl for $10 i think. I may do another this afternoon after work and post it up step by step later in the week. No its time to start my drawings for brass etching and making it a box cab :-) Country: Australia | Posts: 672 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 05/01/2012 :  06:15:14 AM     Adrian, a step-by-step would be great!

I'm sorry you feel that way. But the law is the law. An individual may make a copy for his own use, but may not distribute to others. You could send him the magazine and he can make his own copy. Sometimes the law is just strange. dave Country: USA | Posts: 3735 adrian_batey Crew Chief Posted - 05/02/2012 :  01:38:17 AM       [/quote] But the law is the law.[/quote] So im sure you have never jay walked or sped in you life or something liek that. Maybe even have a friend or family meber pass on a coppied CD to you or something. Anyway back to model railroading. I will take photos of the process and doccument it so that people who may not have the info will and then no one is breaking the law Country: Australia | Posts: 672 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 06/01/2012 :  8:44:44 PM     I had a long talk with Dave Hoffman at the SER Convention in Gatlinburg today. What a nice guy. As you may know, he manufacturers some neat stuff in HOn30 and HOn3 - both rolling stock and motive power. Here are a few pictures of his "motorizing unit" for the Keystone Shay in HOn3. The motor and everything you see in brass is made by Dave. All you do is add what you want from the Keystone castings. It ran quite well. I believe the wait for one is about a year now.

I have his mechanism, in HOn30, for the Grandt Line boxcab. Jeff S. Country: USA | Posts: 865 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 06/22/2012 :  4:42:16 PM     Wow, the lounge has been very quiet the past three weeks! Here is a picture of the Ken Hoffman Climax kit that I purchased at the SER Convention in Gatlinburg. I hope to get it on the bench late summer/early fall. Mine is in HOn3, but he has it available in HOn30, too. I also want to purchase his powering kit for the Grandt-Line box cab.
