Thanks again.
Jon, all my Hustlers are the old style belt drives with the pointed axle ends and the Hi-F motor that the ernst regear kits won't fit. I have one of the kits and was thinking of modifying it to fit, just haven't got around to it yet.
I agree that if you want to get into bashing locos, to get some of these cheap trainset locos and have at it. If you screw up, throw it in the parts box, no loss. I've screwed up my share of them, But learned a lot from it.
I'm not sure why the photo turned out like that. Not all the ones I took that night did that. ?
