Ed & Rusty, The Stanton Drive is a powered truck produced by NorthWest Short Line. It can be used to power smaller track vehicles, such as Trolleys, Interurbans, Cranes, etc. They can be wired for DC or DCC. Currently, they are sized for HO, but could be, in some cases, adapted to S, as NWSL can fit them with S size axels and wheels. However, as you read in Dave's response, he will consider S size units if the interest is there. If the response is sufficient, perhaps he can be pursuaded to produce them for a larger, four wheel diesel loco truck. That is the reason I put the note on this List. I saw someone's comments about the drives on either this List, or the S Tracton List. Thought it might be valuable info for some so they express their interest by emailing Dave. Check out the NWSL website for detailed info. http://www.nwsl.com/ Select: Motors and Power Drives, then click on The NWSL Stanton Drive (HO..........etc) Then crosscheck the sizes with your Handy Converter program to convert to S size. It's helpful to know the proto wheelbase before converting.
Gary Chudzinski >Re: NWSL Stanton Drive Posted by: "Edward Sauers" [email protected] ehsauers1 Thu Mar 31, 2011 2:07 pm (PDT) Gary, What locos would these drives be appropriate for? what is the cost or at least the cost in HO since currently there is no S-Scale product. Are there any photos available to look at? I have seem the post on this drive but don't have any idea what they are!!!
