Has anyone converted one of these LGB 2085D locomotives to battery?
Yes, but probably not the way you would want. (onboard).
I pulled the brushes and rewired the motors and changed all the lights to LED.
Then everything is in a following control car. I had one for freight and one for passenger.
This goes back 15 years:
@John_Bouck That’s exactly what I plan/want to do. Do you by chance have pictures of the process? How to get the boiler off? I have the exploded view but am not quite clear exactly how to remove the boiler. Do the side tanks need to come off? Any information would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
Timmy
No pics, Timmy. It has been so long ago, I can’t remember how it comes apart. Sorry.
Well John, it’s a step in the right direction with the ditch lites. Now it needs HEP and MU cables then call it done.
I’ll pot that on my to-do list, Roo. The bottom of about 100 other things I want to do in the shop.
