NWSL attach to frame


Recommended Posts

I thought I would share a problem installing NWSL trucks on my E8.  By the time I made bushings for ride height and the bearing for the truck, there was not enough stem length to install the one-way washer that they provide.  I don't like the one way washer because you put it on once and to remove it you destroy the motor block stem.  So, here is what I did and I am following up with pictures.  I drilled two holes in the top of the motor block for the wires, made a slot in the frame floor of the loco for the wires and that allowed the hole in the stem to be used for a screw and washer.  This installation also allows you to remove the truck without damaging the truck.  Again, any questions, I will gladly answer them, Bob.
