Lines: 13 I hope this is the right newsgroup for model railroading concerns. I'm interested in anyone's experience about improving the performance of HO locos. I am considering regearing the power drive for a higher ratio (around 30:1 or so) and before investing in gear kits i'd love to hear from others who have done this. Also, are there other things that should be done to the loco to improve performance? I know a little about lubeing them and adjusting any linkages or other moving parts so there is no bind. Has anyone replaced the stock motors with better ones? What do people think of flywheels? Noah Morgan GenRad Inc. Bolton, MA
