Can motor kit on eBay for Mantua Pacifics and Hudsons?


 

Has anyone bought this can motor repower kit for the Mantua 4-6-2's and 4-6-4's?

Just curious what's involved in the conversion and any reviews of performance.

Thanks,
Jason P

From a Mechanical Engineering perspective; it is AWFUL.? ?The motor bearings are not sufficient to support the flywheel and worm so far from the motor.? ?The motor bearings will wear out very quickly and the worm to worm gear engagement will not be reliable.?
