Alco Models "Jawn Henry" on eBay

[NW Modeling List]

I already have a Jawn Henry thru ebay, I tried a few times to win one 
and came up short on the last second bidding, then one showed up at a 
high bid price, nooobody bidded but me.

as is you need fairly wide radius curves for this engine but I was 
encouraged by an ole MR article someone hand built one with some Globe 
Drives and ran on 22 inch radius, so I gave mine a major workover, took 
about 4 months of trying this and thats and failures, ended up single 
motoring, reworking the power drives, changing the flex coupling between 
the trucks to a modded universal joint (this was critical as the flex 
was causing derailments and the old plastic didnt hold)
it runs very well now on 24 inch radius with DCC and bright heqadlights 
(4 amp digitrax decoder) still figgering out sound for it.
Critical was isolating the frame from trucks, modding kaddee coupler 
boxes worked as mounting separation. Body was live and tender parts 
touched the engine shorting.

I may little tweaks yet to do on the drive train but its really good 
now. A little heads up if your interested in this engine.
