Screwy Nick Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Received my new Mountaineer from Roundhouse last week. They used a new (to me) site glass. It connects to the boiler in the normal way, but has a flat front with easier viewing. It of course runs like Roundhouse. I also modified the Transmitter to change the Fwd Rev to up and down, removed the spring and installed a wiper like an article in SiTG, only I put a dimple in the wiper and grooves in the wiped surface to hold F, N and R. Very happy with the locomotive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwy Nick Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Chuck, thank you, I am at the bottom of the learning curve but getting the idea of it. Ordered more parts to do it to other locomotives using the same transmitter. SEE, ya can teach an old dog new tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
