The E-Book is a wonderful product that allows the reader and instructional means to up-grade his or her HO Brass Steam Locomotive. It provides pictorial as well as written instructions on various aspects of brass engines and their maintenance. The E-Book provides detailed instructions on the different areas of a HO brass engine that need to be re-paired and up-graded to allow a continuous enjoyment of brass steam locomotives. Almost all brass HO engines require re-building to make them work properly and run as intended.

The E-Book gives the reader the instructions necessary to re-build and up-grade his or her Brass Steam Locomotive with the latest technology.

The replacement of several components that are way out of date and a hindrance to the operation of the HO Brass Steam Locomotive is provided.

The instructions gives the reader the whys and why not's of the HO brass engine motors, driveline, gearbox, main drive gear that need to be up-graded which allows for a smooth running locomotive.

This E-Book gives the purchaser a better understanding of what is necessary to maintain and operate Brass Steam Locomotives. It gives an insight of the problems HO brass has had since World War II and how to fix it so the engine(s) don't become hanger queens.


This is the aft engine of an articulated locomotive with the motor and fly wheel, gearbox, drive shafts, U-Joints and couplings for an Ajin of Korea/Overland Union Pacific Big Boy.

:: The E-Book contains an extensive series of questions.

You will find in the E-Book extensive answers to problems pertaining to Brass Steam Locomotives. For example we cover the intricate part of the dive system of these locomotives. Why they don't work and what to do about it.

This is what you get...

  • Replacing an Open Frame Motor with a Can Motor.
    Disassemble locomotive and Open Frame Motor and replace with Can Motor. Provides an all around better power system and reliability for brass HO locomotives.
  • Replacing gearbox and main gear.
    This allows for better ratios for power and speed of the HO locomotive. It also increases pulling power and better torque factors.
  • Adding of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
    The lighting of most Brass Locomotives is very poor and the standard light has a short life. The LED improves lighting by many times and is more robust electrically than standard light bulbs.
  • Can Motors and the varying rpms
    If you were to use a gear ration of 28:1 but wanted to run at moderate speeds you would most likely select a Can Motor with an rpm rating of 12.5 k. For high speed locomotives such as the big Northern you would select a Can Motor with an rpm rating of 16k and a gear ratio of 27:1 or 28:1.
  • Brass Steam Locomotives and there evolution since World War II.
    HO Brass steam engines are a unique art form and duplication of the real thing that has had difficulty in maintaining working order. With the onset of Can Motors, better gearboxes and drive shaft mechanisms and parts the HO Brass engine can be made into a fine running machine.
  • Electrical Shorts called "Sparky"
    One of the real difficulties with brass and other metals that make up a brass engine are electrical shorts. Pony and trailing trucks can be a big source of sparky. Also, the pipes and other items that hang down from a locomotive are brass and they may touch drive wheels, other body parts that cause Sparky. The E-Book explains the problem and how to fix it.
  • The best way of purchasing an HO Brass Steam Locomotive.
    There are many ways of purchasing a brass steam locomotive. However, it is the cost that makes the difference. In the E-Book you will find what we consider the best means of acquiring a steam locomotive of your choice.
  • Tools needed for the HO hobbyist.
    One of the best ways to maintain a brass steam locomotive is the type of tools you may posses or purchase. In the E-Book we discuss some of the tools best suited for Brass Steam Locomotives and how to use them.
  • Gear Ratios and the operation of the Brass Steam Locomotive
    Gear ratios for gearboxes and main gear is the key in the operation of the steam locomotive. Ratios run from 27:1 and 28:1 to 37:1 and 38:1 with some locomotives having a ratio of 41:1. The bigger the number the slower the engine will operate. Generally the advantage is the lower numbered ratio for best results.
  • The Drive Wheels of a Brass Steam Locomotive
    The main issue of the drive wheels is keep them clean and service them often. Make sure the bearings or bushings are properly lubricated with a fine oil or electrolytic oil. Inspect the main drive gear for wear in conjunction with the gearbox gear. These actions will provide for an engine that works when you want it too.
