Title: Bachmann on30 trolley
Post by: BJ102 on January 30, 2014, 09:35:56 AM
I want to remove the motor from one of my street cars to convert it to a trailer for use on an oval. Is there any snags I am going to run in to. Also will the other street car be powerful enough to pull a trailer

The  trolley  (or  Tram as  we  caqll them  over  here) is  powerful  enough to pull 2 or 3  at least  bachmann 0n30  freight  cars,  so  no poblem pulling  an unpowered  trailer,

I have  removed  the  motors  from a  couple of them, its  failrly  easy  to  do  buy remeber that you must  retain  the  pickups  and  other  wiring  if you  want  the  lights  to  work!

Dismantling  is  a  bit  fiddly  but  with  care it  can be  done.
