Has anyone made a dummy out of a wore out or seldom used loco? If so how did you get smooth running trucks? Thanks Tom
 
I've popped the motor & drive shafts out of a loco and the gears out of the trucks and made a dummy that rolls fine and the headlight still lights up :)
 
I've done that with a proto 2000 gp7. I was thinking about using an older trainset loco like tyco as a dummy.
 


i just found the main gear and drive wheel on mine, popped both out and volla it rolls freely like a dummy, another option depending on the MFG is to pop out the drive truck and replace with a dummy truck...
