Sunset 3 rail drivers pulled from a Y-3

I started working on the first of my N1 projects this past week. I have a pair of the Sunset Y-3’s to use as the start of the model. One is a two rail locomotive and the other is a three rail locomotive. Both need to be converted to Proto48 but their conversion is different because they are starting from different places.

I started working on the three rail model first, mostly because it was out of the box and sitting on my shelf.

I pulled the three rail drivers out of the model’s frame. Boy they are really fat tires on there. 

Pressing the Driver centers off the axels

The driver centers were pressed off the axels. I also pressed out the pins at the same time.

Here is my set of 3-rail driver centers all pressed off the axels and ready for the next step, the hack saw.
