intro and query about atlas roco locos
|
hi and thanks to the moderator for approving my request to join the group.
i am interested in some of the older roco atlas GPs for scratchbuilding purposes. i note that other european roco N electric and diesel locos have a 1.5mm axle and that gears can either be red or white. i am wondering whether the whole range of atlas roco and european roco all used the same 1.5mm axle? or did they vary axle diameters as they did the gears? many thanks in advance ben |

I'v emanaged to swap geared axles on a variety of Atlas, Model Power, Life Like, and even the Con Cor E7 diesel models over the years; it seems as the though the axle is a non-official standard. If you ever need parts, I have two GP (9 & 30) chassis with motors and gears in my parts box. The projects to convert them into "proper" GP9s was surpassed by Atlas releasing them! Dennis Dennis C.
