robbostrains Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Having failed to win a couple of dummy GP35's on E-Bay was wondering if I could use a couple of Model Power GP locos now non runners as dummy locos.Problem is not got a clue on how to do it!Any one either done it or knows how to?

Neil Rogers Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 its quite simple really  all you need to do is remove drive shafts and worm gearing from trucks and isolate the motor electrically  hth  Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 there as rear as rocking horse droppings  i've found the best place to get them is at swap meets,last 2 athearn bb i pick up cost me £6 each, i'm still looking for a couple of gp 38's,  i was given a Bachmann gp 50 which i striped the motor and gears out of,needs a bit of detail, but the price was right.   Ray from deepest west cumbria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
