Athearn BB in the "Snow Bird" scheme on point of a set of NH coaches RP gifted me.
As near as I can tell, the Snow Bird Scheme belonged on a high speed, light weight
Boston to NYC train set brought out by the NYNH&H under the name "Dan'l Webster."
Seems a lot of liberty (pardon the pun) was taken in the Athearn version.

My favorite TYCO locomotive, the Spirit of '76 F7. The plastic MU-2 drive had cracked gears, and I had a Athearn band-driven chassis in need of a shell. Just have to paint it.

Interesting project, how about a thread about how you performed this conversion?

Proudly keeping Tyco Pluggers out of landfills since 2016
