Remove the black, plastic worm from the old motor’s shaft. This can be done with your fingers or the Tramfabriek gear puller. Push this worm on the brass adapter supplied with the kit. Then push on the new motor shaft.

Press the worm on the brass adapter of the kit.  First check the position of the worm to the first gear before glueing.  Then use Loctite or Granville metal glue. I use the blue stuff, thread locker.

Place the new motor assembly in the model. Make sure the worm is centred above the gear below. 

Connect power to the motor wires, hold the motor assembly down and test how it runs in both directions. It should be a smooth sound. If you hear a louder noise in one direction, then the worm is not centred well. Then adjust this.


If it all works well, glue the motor casing in place with fast drying epoxy glue or gel superglue.

Reattach the upper body to the chassis: Slide the buffer beam over the tabs in the front, then push the rear of the model down.

Remove the upper body to reveal the chassis by pressing carefully a small, flat screw driver under the back, to lift the plastic over the tabs. Carefully, as it will break easily. You can clearly see the tabs sticking through the housing.

Remove the two screws from the back to release the motor.

Cut the capacitor off. You don’t need this, it will disturb the well running of the motor. You can cut it off by the lowest point of the wires.

Digital conversion

This motor upgrade kit can very well be converted to DCC. See for suitable decoders here. Check the digital setting page, for many decoders, to get the best driving experience. Be aware that the model is very light. In order to make it work well, it would need more weight, as well as a stayalive.
