Now for the 3003 with the 60901 there is a slight problem with the screw of the bottom of the motor plate, it touch the wheel of the loco, so you have to polish the head of the screw to msake it fit.

Joined: 08/03/2004(UTC) Posts: 113 Location: Antwerp,		Hi Francisco, Thanks for the information. I'll try a 60903 for both. Is there any list published of the right "high efficiency motor" related to old 3xxx and 31xx locos ? I've a lot of them and want to upgrade some in the future. It's not clear for me when a 60901 is appropriate or not. Most lists are related to decoders, not to motors, and, honnestly, I don't see the differences. Thanks again

I'm looking forward for your detailed explanations. Thanks for the link, Ray. It looks like the one Matthew has sent. But do you know where the several notes in the last column are refering to ? I found no explanation of it.

(1) Later production of these and similar models were converted to drum commutator motors. (2) This model is indicated as suitable for conversion in the instructions to 60903, 60904. (3) This model requires extra effort for conversion. (4) This locomotive was tested by the author for conversion with 60903/4. (5) Vertical top screw required on brush plate. New models (e.g. 24 061 no. 30033) have a motor hood. It has not yet been possible to test these models. (6) The 60903 set will probably fit, since the locomotive frame is caomparable to 3034. Test fit the housing! (7) Decoder fits in turned posistion without milling. More recent examples of this class have drum commutator motors. (8) Eventually, the LED lighting may need to have its polarity reversed when connected.

Anyway here are the pictures of the 60903 kit on a 3003: Loco stripped out and fully cleaned: Screws that come with the 60903, original and polished one The original screw, touching the wheel and now, everything is ok Apart from that, the kit runs perfectly, i have no decoder yet, but the engine was tested with a DC source and runs like heaven. This weekend i will buy decoders and other stuff, so i hope to have a final result in a couple of weeks.
