Kato Greyhound FEF

[Jbub]

Years back, it was rumored that the SD70ACe 8444 was supposed to be painted in the Greyhound scheme, though it was never done. It would definitely look neat with a Greyhound FEF 844 and a SD70ACe 8444 in a train.

Not my photo, but people have done a Greyhound scheme on an ACe.

Hmmm, I might have to do a fantasy scheme. I've got the 8444 SD70ace but think it looks so weird with all the other heritage schemes.

The FEF sure looks really nice.  There seemed to be a pronounced “wobble” to it when running though.  Is that normal for these locos?

Make sure the fulcrum pins are seated properly (between driver 1 and 2)...

See if that helps!

Enjoy!

Thank you Kelly for the video!  Watched it a few times and after procrastinating long enough, tried the fix on my FEF-3 #838 which had the wobble out of the box and has been a source of disappointment since I got it when it first came out.  Wasn't sure if I made any difference in the fulcrum pins or not but put it back together and ran it.  Big difference!  Now runs like my #844 (excellent!).  It's been especially frustrating running the 838 with the wobble because I had some work done on it by Jim Hinds at Richmond Controls (backup light added to tender and the red "emergency light illuminate when backing up).  I'm a happy camper!  Thanks again!
