Hi all well I got these 2 Athearn HO Locomtoives they seem too be Athearn,But they are Dummies ones I have not seen before.Here are some pix of them hoping someone could tell me,how too Power them & the Part Numbers so That I can order them.Thanks,I got em Uplaoded.
At any rate it will be costly to power those frames because you will need the whole 9 yards including drive shafts,power trucks w/gears,motor ect.
Listen..It would be cheaper to buy a new locomotive..Of course you can use Athearn parts as well but the motor and powered trucks will cost you motor $21.95,powered trucks with $16.50/set truck detail set $3.00 pluse drive shafts..
A new F7 A will run you..$28.79 single or around $48-55.00 for a A/B set.
Great thought Brakie, when I "repower" my dummy Dash 9's I just buy a cheep powered one on eBay, and remove the chassis, replace the details, paint to match and re-install.
