Hi friends!
Bachmann has 2 very interesting HO switchers, the 44to and the new 45to (side rod) locomotives. I believe, these drive units will be a good basis for On30-conversions.
My first question is: Has the new DCC 44to-switcher 2 motors like the old run or a new 1-motor-drive (with/without flywheel)??
My 2nd one: Can someone tell me the axle-distances / distance between the bogie-pivots and wheel-diameter of both models?
I want to make a project-drawing before I will order the right model I need.
(I hope you can understand my English because this is not my home-language.)
Many thanks
Traunbahn
Dear Traunbahn,
The 44 and 45 Tonners have one motor.
I haven't got samples here to measure; perhaps someone else will.
Have fun!
