Krauss-Maffai HO locomotive


 

Is there anyone in the group the has information on the?Krauss-Maffai HO locomotive
I purchased one that has a large can motor that powers both trucks.
The original AHM had one truck powered..
This?doesn't look like a kit bash as it looks factory built.
Well constructed with the German motor
All wheels pick up, but the flanges are a bit larger but not as large as old AHM wheels are.

Could you provide some photos of the engine?

The trucks and side frames fit but the holes where they would attach do not match.
That indicates the trucks are from some thing else. You can see the trucks have a good pick up on all wheels?
The motor is large, but runs under a 1/4 amp
I plan on making the loco DCC and that is why I took it apart.
Looks like a professional upgrade

I have this one. A Rio Grand Model, looks to me like a Rivarossi motor and drive on only the rear truck.?

I guess I didn't send any pictures
Who ever rebuilt the locomotive put a new brass frame inside the old plastic frame.
I have installed DCC decoder and run the locomotive now and then.
