Title: Micro-Mark HO Motor Drive System (part 84831) - Replace Bachmann GP40?
Post by: PatBarr on September 29, 2013, 06:19:59 PM
I need to replace the motor in my GP40 locamotive.  I was on Micro-Mark's site to by a truck tuner when I saw their motore.  Can this go in my GP40?

Also Mico-Mark gives details demensions and Bachmann doesn't for lots of their products.  I wish they did.

Thanks, Pat

Pat - wish I knew the answer to that but I don't, at least I don't know if it would be a simple replacement type fix. You would have to compare the dimensions and shafts of your old Bachmann motor to the Micro-Mark one and go from there.
That said, of course it IS possible, but the amount of 'modeling' and modifications needed may not be what you have in mind.
