This 2 day Workshop is for those new to battery conversions and designed to do a complete battery conversion for your locomotive. As this is a beginners workshop it will be for those wanting to install a Revolution system into their locomotive. It is designed for those wanting to put this system into common everyday Steamers. As this is only a 2 day clinic it will be limited to basic steamer ONLY such as LGB Moguls, Bachmann 10 wheelers, Aristocrat C16s, and Piko moguls. All locomotives must be in good running condition as we won't have time to do repairs as part of this workshop. As this is a beginners workshop we cannot accomodate high end, complex locomotives as this will allow us to aid in the process of building the required infrastructure for all the different locomotives and tenders. For those interested at the same time we will have the different LEDs to convert your lights over to LED lighting. This is worthwhile as LEDs lights work so much better and use much less power from your battery pack. Also for those locos with boilers we can help you install a nice set of flickering colored lights into it. At the end you will have a fully functioning locomotive with sound and lights that will be both dependable and able to have a long run time between charges.

Because we will have to have time to get everything ordered and here we will have a cut off signup date of May 2, 2019. If you have any questions please contact Warner Swarner 503-970 2890(wbswarner@aol.com) or Mike Fisher 503-799-9160(mqrmfisher@msn.com) .
