I have no 'techie' answer for ya Casey on this one. I started using good ol' Floquil back in '73 and have 'stuck' with it ever since. I know its properties and am very satisfied with the results I obtain with it.;) :D

There's lotsa good hobby publications out there and one needs to sample each to find out which one will contribute to his interests..;) I have subscribed to MR for 30 years and will continue to do so because it meets my needs and interests. I also get Diesel Era for the same reason.:cool...

Tom F, The Earnst set for the Hustlers comes with a set of flywheels also. The conversion process is not a 'drop in' and will take some work, but the results are worth it. I would suggest some NWSL nickel silver wheels also for your Hustlers. If'n ya have any questions about installation...

That's the one. Earnst only makes one four axle set. One of our club switchers has the Earnst set, the old Athearn motor, and a Bowser pot metal SW1500 casting on it. That sucker will pull the drywall off the walls.:eek: :) ;)

I done regeared mine with the Earnst set, and put NWSL 36" wheelsets on it. Runs great!!!! Da wife confiscated it for her annual Christmas diorama and has it pulling a 'tourist' train through her Christmas village.:D The gears are worth it in my book. After Christmas I get it back as my...
