Installing a Revolution 2.4 system into a Bachman Spectrum 4-4-0

Anyone have any experience in disassembly of a Bachmann Spectrum 4-4-0 to enable installation of a Revolution 2.4 remote control system? I have figured most of it out, and managed not to destroy anything… yet. But would like to leverage those of you that have “been there, done that” already. Any help will be welcomed.

Mike;
Try checking in at the OVGRS web page. Paul Norton has posted a lot of tips on the installation of this system over there.
The web page can be found at: www.ovgrs.org/ he may have even done a B’mann 4-4-0.

BTW, Mike…

Fred,
Thanks very much for the tip on the OVGRS site, I will certainly check it out. And thanks to all that have welcomed me to Large Scale Central I feel at home already.

Don’t let your drivers spin,
Mike

Fred,
The OVGRS site had the solution. Very clean way to install a Battery and RC without major disassembly or perminate alterations, quite slick.

Getting my battery options lined up and will purchase one soon and make the mods. Can hardly wait.
