Large / Connie video question
January 16, 2011, 04:46:14 PM
I admit, I actually watched it today. And I have a question. When they were going through the details did he actually call the sander D handle the throttle?  ??? 'Cause it sure ain't got no throttle, just the sander and reverser. I had to make one when I had mine apart

We'll just forget the funny things that are supposed to be injectors but don't look like any I ever saw. You guys tried.

Large / Changing the Connie axle gear - a pictorial
December 22, 2010, 10:48:50 AM
Since it seems to be a recurring topic, and I had to do one on my second hand Connie anyway.........

Rather than repost it all, just follow the link:

Honestly, it isn't very difficult and doesn't take more than about 45 minutes -- as long as you're careful and don't have to play "hunt the screw" too much.

Large / Downsizing a Connie
December 17, 2010, 06:29:33 AM
Since this was done primarily with Bachmann parts and products I thought I'd share it here.  :D

For those wanting heavier motive power without changing their 1:22.5 layout over to 1:20 - Take one 1:20 Spectrum 2-8-0.....


Add the smaller Big Hauler 4-6-0 cab and tender shell in place of the factory one, shorten the domes, etc to match, and maybe move things around a bit......


Weather to taste.....


And call it a Baldwin 10-30E.....


Thanks!
