Has anyone here remotored Athearn RTR locomotives with Kato motors? Does anyone have a list of Athearn RTR locomotives that will accept a drop-in Kato motor without having to mill the frame?
If a Kato motor won't fit without milling the frame, do you think this motor, sold by Athearn as their MP15/SW1500 motor will fit? (It's a Mashima can motor) Do you think it will have enough power to move a six axle locomotive and a train?
I ask because I have a pair of SD45-2s that won't run together or with anything else. I also want to remotor some of my other locos to improve their performance.
