That said, I'm just imagining what kind of performance you can get if you add in bearings and lubrication on top of all this. You can get a package of 40 O rings for under $10. In the past, I modified the Santa Fe Super Chief to work with power functions, and replacing those O rings allowed it to pull all 5 santa fe cars and a few emerald night cars with no issue.Īnd best of all, this isn't an expensive modification. I then replaced the O-rings on the 4 wheels with the sealing gaskets, and the difference was shocking: Not only could the tiny Disney Train tender push the Big Boy, but it moved reasonably fast, power right through tight lego curves, AND pull 3 train cars and drag the Disney train behind it all. The wheels just slipped in place and couldn't budge the big boy. For instance, I have a UP Big Boy that I tried to push with the tender from the Disney train (single PuP motor and battery box). Replace them with 14mm Inner Diameter, 17mm OD sealing gaskets, and watch the magic happen.īy simply replacing these O-rings, you get much more grip onto the track and it helps stops the wheels from slipping due to lack of weight. Remove the clear/grey o-rings on the train wheels on your motors. I now a lot of people here know this, and I made this same topic roughly 10 years ago (back when RC trains first came out) but I wanted to say it again. My first thing I would like to add is info on replacing O-rings! I know there are a few ways to get around these, and was hoping we could all chip in with some knowledge. I've been thinking about running long trains, and the limitations of lego train motors and other parts. ![]()
