Walthers HO SW-1 install

(1/3) > >>

cnw4621:
I’ve installed RailPro in about two dozen locos now, but I just picked up an older Walthers SW1, don’t see how I can fit an LM3 into it. I’m rapidly approaching the point where that switcher May be tethered permantly to a boxcar, because I don’t see it happening otherwise. Any suggestions?

William Brillinger:
I have a friend who just did and SW1 for DCC - A LOT of milling was involved.

KPack:
Is there weight that can be shaved down?  It seems like most of the Proto locomotives have a huge weight in there.  A mill would be required for that, and lots of patience, but it can be done.

The other option is to try and squeeze it in the roof of the cab.  Not sure how successful that would be though....don't have a SW1 in front of me to look at.

Dean:
Instead of a boxcar, how about a cow and calf switcher.

No dice, the Monon didn’t have calves.
