HOn3 2-8-2 in the works...

[Sumpter250]

Interesting. We often see it with old time 4-4-0, but with a longer and larger loco like yours, it must work well. Matt

It does, until there's a motor failure. :o
With the "sled" motor mount ?
1- remove sled retaining screw
2- remove sled and motor from tender
3- remove motor from sled
4- install new motor, and connect leads to the two wires ( water feed pipes from tender to loco )
5- Test, lube, and run.
With a standard "box" tender, it is a little more complicated.
Right now, the 2-4-4-2 has a dead motor.
