Powered Bowser Aerotrain

Just finished getting my Aerotrain running! I think it’s turning out very nicely.[:)]

Excellent,

How about we put the video in a frame here for easy access?

Nice! I didn’t know the forum allowed embedding videos. Of course, I also made that first post from my phone. Not doing that again…

Hi Darth!

Beautiful job powering the locomotive!

I have a couple of the original Varney locomotives and several cars. I don’t know if the Bowser cars and the Varney cars used the same wheel mounts, but if they did, NWSL makes replacement wheel sets that fit nicely. They are NWSL #37108-4, 36" scale wheels with a 110 tread and stub axles. I had to trim a bit off the insides of the wheel mounts/axle holders to make the wheel sets fit but there is still lots of material left.

Here is a picture of a Varey car with the NWSL wheels installed:
