I just got a Rivarossi FEF-3 at the train show today and I notice that while it has the RP-25 flanges, it seems to have the older design of motor. As such, I find its performance to be a little lacking.
Has anyone on the list updated one of those motors? It would appear to be easy to drop a can motor in but I would like to compare notes.?
It seems to also want some tender pickups and to want a new headlight, but that will come in due course.?
As an aside, I finished the AHM repower, I will be making a dedicated post to detail the process in the near future, or, when I have my desk cleaned off enough to write it as a magazine how-to article.
