Скачать или смотреть Custom Loco Project - N Scale Life Like FA2 +FB2 with Tramfabriek Coreless Motors and ESU Loksound

A while ago, I bought an ancient N Scale Life-Like Alco FA2 with FB2 dummy. it was very basic inside, not DCC ready, old chunky noisey motors with no 'creep' ability.
After some help from Tramfabriek - Tram Model Building, they developed a coreless motor with cradle replacement for the Life-Like FA2. I bought a second powered chassis for the FB2 and 2 of the coreless motor upgrades.
To add to this, I have added an ESU Next18 socket and a DCC sound speaker along with an LED headlight to replace the ancient bulb. Addionally I added a 4 pin socket and plug to the corridor connection so the pair can run using just 1 DCC chip.
This model is now DCC sound fitted with a Loksound V5 loaded with the correct sounds by L J Breeze. It is a smooth powerful runner, with creep ability.

In this video it is seen hauling 55 freight cars which it handled flawlessly on the level and up a 1 in 60 climb. However a 1 in 33 climb proved too much for it.
