Description
Weaver adjustable drive kits are guaranteed to improve the low-speed performance of your chain-driven locomotive or your money back!
Designed as a drop-in replacement for most Weaver chain-driven locomotives. This kit replaces the stock plastic drive tower with a two-piece adjustable tower. You will enjoy smooth and quiet operation with this easy-to-install kit. No modifications are required.
Weaver adjustable drive kits feature:
- Adjustable height towers for the perfect chain tension
- Electrical isolation from the frame
- Ball-bearing supported driveshaft
- Guaranteed better slow-speed performance with a 2.5 to 1 gear reduction
- Kit includes everything needed to perform the upgrade
- Detailed instructions on fine-tuning your trucks
This kit is intended to be used on most locomotives that feature a chain-driven mechanism. If you purchase a kit and it will not fit your locomotive I will refund your money once I receive the parts back. https://youtu.be/cXVKs-Ovpus This video features an earlier version of the drive installed and operating in a Red Caboose GP9. The locomotive is running on a glass table with a dead rail installation. Power is provided by a single A123 battery.

Well engineered product. Assembled as described with simple hand tools. The larger gears allow for smoother running at low speeds. The two metal bearing reduce friction at the top of the tower. Since the tower can adjusted thru a large range, make sure you set it close to the height of the one you are replacing
