An easy conversion using a NWSL #7080-4 PDT w/ 45:1--42" D, CAREY (Bowser) Box Cab #13-1. Full instructions provided with both. No specialized tools required.
The Hustler frame skirt must be removed from the shell and used.
Unlike most PDT's this one is mounted totally by the axles.
NWSL quotes no load speed as 63 SMPH. Tested loco speed was about 40. A big drop from 400+???. Weight w/ lead shell and W/O details: 10 oz.
Note: Adjust brightness and contrast for optimum viewing.
Bottom view showing motor, gears and frame.
Top view showing wiring. The black areas on the skirt show where the shell was separated and the skirt sanded flat.
Assembled view ready for testing. Since this loco was intended to be an electric, the stacks would be removed and a pantograph added along with other details.
