Hi. I am in the Uk. I have a HAG HO 240 Ae 8/8 BLS single engined locomotive AC DCC
I am looking to try and convert to DC, or have someone in UK do it for me. I understand the wheels and scrubbers need to be changed, so need to try and source the relevant parts

Thanks

Alex

The relavent parts list from the Hag site is as follows;

Hag parts list

To be brutally honest, Hag older models prices are quite depressed. You may find it easier to buy a DC one and sell your AC one on eBay or Ricardo. I suspect you will have a tough time getting the parts and finding someone to do it.

Here is a DC one on Ricardo.

Alex,

I also have a Hag Ae 8/8 which I bought in the mid 1990’s. It’s built like a tank and runs great. However, if I were to buy an Ae 8/8 today, I would seriously consider the Roco version that came out around 2010. The detail is quite impressive.

Thanks
