Grandt Line

[WT fan]

Scratch building a 25-ton gave me the idea for a better Grandt Line 25-ton:

Could you tell me more about the bull ant drive you used? I'd liek to re-power mine.

Awesome little beastie, and with sound yet?
Well done!

I've bought the BullAnt from Hollywood Foundry. This is the BullAnt with gearing ratio 60:1 !!
At the Grandt Line I replaced the bottom plate with a brass plate. There I drilled two holes for the BullAnt. And I added lead. This critter is pushed up to 100 g. BTW, my scratch build 25-ton has 120 g.
The Loksound micro is unter the hood, just above the motor.

What are the specs, such as wheel base, wheel size, the motor you used, flywheel/no flywheel, and the bolster mounting...?

I've looke for a BullAnt with 21,4 mm wheel base. The 25-ton has 33'' wheels, I choose code 110 NS wheels. Code 80 would be good, too!
Motor is a Mashima MHK 1015 with flywheel.
I wanted a fixed mounting Bolster, 20 mm cross mount.

AND - I got a gearbox ratio 60:1 !!!

This is my BullAnt at my Pizza layout: breaking in.
