#51 started as a Bachmann Spectrum 4-4-0 (the "Modern Baldwin" version). Out of the box, she looked like this:
Kapton Tape
I just wondered if there was any substitute for Kapton tape used to install drop-in decoders? I'm sure there must be a valid reason for needing to use this type of tape. Just wondering.
MDC Shay Kit Build - Powered by a Modified NWSL Stanton Drive -
I have been working on several Keystone Shay Kits, looking for alternative ways to power this static model using as few or none of the parts from the old and long out of production NWSL Power conversion kits. (More on this at a later date)
