pagan Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 First attempt to build a 9V engine in a tram from set 8404. I'm pleased with the result. It is only a bit higher then the original design. Front & back Dismantling the tram Get rid of the small wheels and install trainwheels & adapt. Only used 1 trainwheelset cause otherwise the tram will derail. Result. Enlarge the centerpiece, so the 9V engine fits. Result !! I already tested them on a 9V track. Now, how to make a decent modern train/tramstation. Hope you enjoy this !! Cheers Pagan Quote
garethjellis Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Great conversion! now I challenge you to a power function conversion. Quote
Jorrith Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Spare us that! That will mean blacked out windows (yawn) and a shiny black dome thingy sticking out on top. Hooray for good old 9 volt! Quote
pagan Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 PF just takes to much space, as i have seen on YouTube. I still can use all space for seats. Cheers pagan Quote
Gioppa Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I'm not a fan of the 9 volts, but you have Made a good work... Finally somebody can see this tram run faster than a bullet! Quote
Rail Co Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I used to have this MOD with power functions in it but my tram has since been lost in the endless buckets of parts :( Great Job! -RailCo Quote
BricksMcgee Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks, been meaning to look in to doing this with my 8404 too! Any videos of it in action? :) Quote
pagan Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Yes, but still need to upload it. I'll post it asap. Quote
Commander Wolf Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Wow I didn't even know this set existed. Or that some 9v motors had that little ridge around the pin. I'm surprised no one has made this mod before! Quote
Bricktown Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 A friend of me has already adapted the tram with 9V system. He included it in a little diorama. I can guarantee you that it was amazing. Quote
pagan Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 On a small test track. Video in action. cheers Pagan Quote
