What you need for conversion set
- Steam locomotive by Roco, industrial type (oud type)
- Small screwdriver set
- Epoxy glue
- Superglue (not necessary with kit with silicone tube)
- Soldering iron
1
Remove plastic cover
On the backside there is a small pin, which holds the cover in place. Press it with a small screwdriver, while at the same time pulling the drive down on the backside.
2
Remove three screws on bottom
Remove the three screws that hold the plate, pressing on the axles. Take the wheels and gears out and clean them when necessary before putting them back.
3
Remove screw that holds motor in place
4
Use solder iron to de-solder contacts of the motor
All the other parts connected to the motor are to protect against radio interference. If you don’t have a FM radio, you don’t need this anymore.
ATTENTION! THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS KIT.
Brass tube or silicon tube
One kit ‘A’ is with a bolt and a piece of sand paper, the other kit ‘B’ is with a silicone tube. The latter will be fitted easily by pressing it on both axles (motor and pin to gear box).

5
Test fit the adapter plate
Check if the block fits in the loco. There are different version of the loco, so if yours is smaller than the block, run the sides over sand paper until it has a tight fit.
6
Glue nut with epoxy glue
The nut has to be level with the underside of the adapter plate. It is possible you need to clean the hole a bit from some filament of the 3D printer. Check before glueing if the nut doesn’t stick out.
5
Place plastic base in model and fix in place with self tapping screw. The wider part of the base sits at the rear of the model.
Glue motor on plastic base with something like gel superglue.
Continue at step 8 with kit A.
7
Glue the motor on the curved side of the adapter plate.
When the glue around the nut is dry, screw the adapter plate in the chassis. The hole of the screw has to be closer to the axle than the back of the motor. Glue the motor in the adapter plate, taking care that the motor is moved as much forward in the chassis (in the front direction) as possible. The red cable has to be on the right side in the direction of travel.
8
Cut the silicon tube to size to get it to fit between motor shaft and worm shaft.
9
Solder the wires on the bottom and fix the motor with the screw.
Please make sure the wires go along the edge to the back, so the motor carrier lays flat on the chassis.
10
Put the wheels in place and test the drive.
