I'm doing some repair work on my Aristocraft Dash 9 and SD 45. My big issue is placing my engine on a G SCALE POWERED CRADLE for doing the repair work. Any suggestions on what folks are using
for cradles would be appreciated.

I don't know of any current source for a cradle big enough for these. If I need something like that, I typically build a big u-shaped trough out of scrap lumber and line it with foam rubber or several layers of old towel.

For power, I might bring a DC power supply with wires attached, so I can hold the wires on the wheels for testing.

Not very specific, I'm sorry.

Please let me know if i misunderstood your question,

Paul
