I finally have done some more work on the NdeM Baldwin centipedes. All the conversion metal work has been completed
from the PRR version to the NdeM versions. This one had the roof antenna and all had to be removed.
Basically it was new horns—- round side portholes—new marker and number boards changes.
The drive and motor work had already been done with new Pittman 9000 series motors, there are 2 motors per locomotive.
the model weighs 6 lbs 10 0z. in O scale you need the weight to pull 15- 20 car passenger car trains. This heavy of a model has
no ill effect on performance at all 2 motors at 18 volts draws 1/4 amps. with a heavy train 1/2 amp.
The radius required for these models is large.72– 84 inches
