This section of the Arrow Hobby Shop is where you will find detailed information on available locomotive frames and associated parts. For similar detailed information on locomotive bodies, click here. Did you know that Arrow is can mix and match trucks, motors, frames etc in order to offer custom re-powering of almost any locomotive, not just the ones listed in the table below? We can also get, or make, special items (for example - DRGW SD40T-2 frames with correct length short fuel tanks) where there is a demand for these special items. So, if you have a special project in mind, let us know! CHASSIS REPOWERING PRODUCTS Key Benefits
We have products to allow you to improve the performance of your Athearn, Rail Power Products and other locomotives. Generally speaking, there are several elements: 1) If you want to repower an existing engine, you need to purchase a Repowering Kit. On some models, there is a Repowering Kit containing the motor, motor cradle and wiring. On others, you need to purchase the motor cradle separately from the repower kit.
2) The pictures below show representative 2-axle & 3-axle power trucks. All the trucks mentioned on this page (both 2-axle and 3-axle) come complete with all gears, including the worm gear, and appropriate sideframes..
3) The picture below shows a representative cast motor cradle and its position in the frame.
4) We suggest using double-sided mounting pads to mount the motor to the chassis.
5) We suggest using the special slow-setting Flywheel Cement to mount the flywheels on the motor shaft.
