I have a 9" SB Model 405 which requires a few minutes to insert a reverse gear into the train when reverse is wanted. This is not a game-changer but it IS a bit of a nuisance. Years ago, before I retired and have all the spare time that I now have, I bought a reverse-gear mechanism from a later Model B or A. Has anyone ever done a retro-fit like this? I know that it wouldn't be simple, and it appears to me that the banjo would have to be replaced with a later Y-shaped one.As I said, I have lots of time now to fritter away on unnecessary projects! One concern that I have is that such a change might invalidate my change gear chart!
