Bob, Here is what I've done, using the Bachmann On30 trolley motor and a set of SHS diesel wheels.

Alan's procedures work fine after widening and only need to be modified to handle 1:64 coupler height. Hope this alternative method helps. Donald E.

How would one.......... 1. splay the wheels on the axels to run on Tomalco 2. configure the interior to accept a Tsunami decoder and speaker. Hoping someone has been here before me.
