DIESEL REPOWERING KITS

If poor performance is ailing your HO scale diesel locomotive fleet, repowering may be the best solution. The installation of a high quality can motor, precision machined brass flywheels and improved electrical contacts will provide impressive results:

. More power
. Smoother starting and stopping
. More realistic speeds
. Less current draw
. Improved reliability
. Improved multiple unit compatibility

Each easy-to-install A-Line Diesel Repowering Kit includes a Mashima flat can motor, precision machined brass flywheels (Athearn coupling installed on each flywheel), flexible electrical hook-up wire and electrical connectors.

QUALITY MASHIMA MOTORS

High quality 12 volt, double shaft Mashima motors are the choice of performance oriented modelers for their repowering needs. Mashima Can Motors offer an excellent fit in most locomotives with two sizes available. The 5 pole, skewed armature is the key to smooth, quiet, low speed operation (as low as 2 scale mph) as well as increased torque and power. Low current draw allows multiple unit operation without overloading most power packs as well as excellent compatibility with advanced command control systems. Choose a matching flywheel set from A-Line's comprehensive assortment of Precision Machined Brass Flywheels. The shorter body #40322 motor is also excellent for repowering many HO scale steam locomotives.

40323		Mashima 1220 Can	$34.95
40324		Mashima 1630 Can	$34.95

These new Mashima motors (49323 & 40324) have the same great features as our original motors.   They have excellent torque, power and low speed characteristics. They are great for narrow gauge locos, N-Scale and many other applications where smaller size is important.

All motors are rated @ 12 VDC   (Conversion Factor 1 mm X .04 = inches)

PRECISION BRASS FLYWHEELS

Among the most critical components when repowering your locomotives are quality flywheels. As a general rule of thumb, use the largest flywheel(s) that you can fit into your repowering project. A-LINE flywheels are custom precision machined to our specifications from quality brass stock. Concentricity is held to within one-thousandth of an inch (.001") for smooth, quiet operation. A-LINE flywheels are drilled and reamed to allow a slip fit onto motor shafts for easier positioning during installation or removal. Slip fit flywheels set with A-LINE flywheel cement are superior to their press fit counter-parts because there is no chance of damaging the motor during mounting. Each flywheel includes Athearn coupling and mounting instructions. Each package contains 2 flywheels.
