Has anyone tried converting one of these to P4? Or able to suggest any published articles on doing so?

Thanks,

William

Hi William,

I can't point you at any blow-by-blow articles on converting them, but just by a quick search on "T9" on here it seems that at least two have been done:

JohnDC - http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1495&p=10906&hilit=t9#p10906

Bruce Boldner - http://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1411&p=10068&hilit=t9#p10068

If you ping either of them, they may be able to give more fulsome deatails than they have teased us with so far. Perhaps there's even a Digest sheet in the offing... ;-)

William,

There's been a fair bit on here, some of which I've contributed to. In addition, in the MRJ due at the end of next February, I've put together some notes about rebalancing the tender and locomotive so that the conversion will pull a bit more.
