Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
Rusty,
Will you be selling these gear boxes? Drivers? I have a rex 040 kit that needs
scale drivers and repowering.
Thanks

Subject: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
I am using driver centers that I made. Some of the driver tires I made and
another local S scaler made some of the driver tires.
I am making the gear boxes from flat brass #360 bar stock. I purchased some of
the NWSL Mod 5 gear boxes that have a 3/26 axle size. That is the size of the
axles used in REX. These gear boxes will not fit the frame of the REX with out
making a huge hole in the frame so I will not use the NWSL box. The box I am
making fits the opening already in the frame. Installing code 110 drivers
instead of the code 125 drivers means all of the other mechanism parts; side
rods, main rods valve gear,and crosshead guides do not need any kind of
modification to accept NASG standards driver sets.

Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
I have no plans on selling the drivers. The best option would have been to buy
the 51 drivers from Dan at River Raisin when he imported the USRA 0-6-0's. Any
one that has the REX Mogul or the Suburban, which use 57 inch drivers, your
best option right now would be to order 57 in drivers from Dan before he
finalizes his order of Moguls from Boo Rim.
This does mean that you would have to push one driver off of each non geared
driver assembly and slide off the journals that come installed from Boo Rim.
Then replace with a round bushing to bring the axle diameter up to 3'16 inch
from the factory 4.0 mm. You may even be able to buy the gearboxes from Dan.
Every one should understand that even if I sold the parts, or Dan sold the
parts, or any one else sold the parts, The cost is going to be in the $300
range just to do the conversion from a Pittman permag motor with a worm and
worm wheel to a can motor with an idler gearbox with code 110 drivers instead
of the older code 125 drivers. Driver sets run $80 to $100 a set assembled to
your needs and that NWSL gear box, if even available is now in the $50 range.

Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
Rusty,
There's a more economical solution then what you suggest plus you get the scale
110 48 drivers that are proper for the dockside. I bought drivers, axles, and
bearing blocks ( that happen to fit into the 040 frame perfectly from a company
in New Zealand for about $10 plus shipping. All that remains is to fabricate a
motor mount for a can motor and buy a NWSL gearbox to get the job done. I got
this solution from one of Bill Lanes Buddies, but since I am so old now I can't
remember his name My biggest problem will be to find someone to quarter the
drivers for me.
Thanks for the reply.

Re: {S-Scale List} REX drivers
I've purchased many products from North Yard in NZ. Mostly the diesel drives for SW, NW and RS's. They have excellent products! I'm not a fan of plastic driver centers and nickle plated brass driver tires though. About 12 years ago I used some of Alan Gibson's (England) plastic driver centers as masters and then cast them in brass.
