Installation of an MLF-20 Lima Kit.

The MLF-20 is quite a simple task to fit. It takes about 20 minutes from beginning to disassemble to ready to test drive. We have compiled a thorough document to guide you through every step and every possible contingency. MLF-38C (a MLF-20 for some steam outline locos) instructions will appear here shortly. Although labelled as MLF-05, fitting is the same.

Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions for an ATC. 

Once you have decided to purchase a ModelTorque Automatic Torque-control Coupling you will need to install it in your locomotive. All of our distributors are able to assist with installation or you can do it yourself by following some simple steps.

Please note also that an ATC will not fit all locomotives. Please view the product information page for dimensions of an ATC to decide whether it will fit your locomotive. As a guide, Athearn and Bachmann locomotives are most suitable for this conversion.

Provided with your ATC are two axles which need to be attached between the drive shaft bushing and the ATC. Instruction sheet is here.

You also need to replace your existing motor with your new ModelTorque Automatic Torque-control Coupling. Instruction booklet is here.

Good luck with your new project! It should take about 60 minutes. If you have difficulties or need advice with your installation, please email Graham for technical support. You should have our response within 48 hours.
