Description
Proto 2000 GP7 HO scale locomotives are well known for fantastic detail but suffer from electrical pickup issues, cracked gears, and mediocre motor performance. With our conversion frame you can easily upgrade your Proto 2000 GP7 or GP9 locomotive to a full Kato drive. Enjoy legendary performance and say goodbye to cracked gears forever.
The frame accepts trucks and motors from any Kato FA or FB unit. The Kato motor and trucks are a drop in fit, no modifications to the Kato components or the Proto 2000 shells are needed. The conversion includes a plastic DCC mounting tray that carries the steel weights and separates the wiring from the drive components. One additional feature, the plastic fuel tank can be secured to the frame with a screw, no more sticky tape holding your fuel tank on!
Two options to choose from:
Full frame kit includes:
- 1 brass conversion frame
- 1 weight support tray
- 1 tall steel weight
- 1 short steel weight
- 2 weight tray screws
- 1 fuel tank screw
- 1 set of instructions
Frame-only kit includes:
- 1 brass conversion frame, no other parts are included.
