Birney301_Testrun.avi

H.O. scale Ken Kidder Birney completely rebuilt as San Diego Electric Railway #301complete with passengers. Headlights, taillights, destination signs, and route signs all light up. Contains a M1 dcc decoder. And finally a BullAnt mechanism from Hollywood Foundry. A little noisy, Hollywood Foundry now makes the drive with a belt drive, so they are a lot quieter now. See how I built this car at: dan-d-sparks.bl...

I have seen photos of this model before and i am very impressed. Wonderful job!

A noisy little bugger isn't she?! No matter...I still love that cute trolley!!! 🥰

The video is nice but the background conversation was too loud and a distraction.

[@gramnylen5961]

I will have to admit that thing runs noisy did you remoter it?

[@dandsparks]

Yeah it does. Hollywood Foundry has some motors made especially for the Birney. The plan is to remotor this car with one.

+Dan D. Sparks I've seen one the Hollywood foundry motor chassis for the Asian Birneys and they run great

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I have two HO scale Ken Kidder Burney's just like the one in this video. Both still have their original motors. Some day I will need a new motor for each Birney car. But, I see Hollywood Foundry has closed it's doors. I have no idea who I will need to go to when the time comes to replace their motors. Any suggestions?
