Mike asked,
A1G FM CPA 24-5 Loco Pennsy. (needs new motor - any suggestions)
Your list-owner replies...
I don't mean to be cheeky here but perhaps the best option if you want the original motor is to find another copy of the loco.? There was a seller on eBay once, I believe his handle was "Bob11156" or something like that, who must have bought the entire remnants of the Rivarossi factory!? He was putting up lots of dozens of "doesn't work" A1G locos.? He probably sold thousands of them over the course of several years.? I dimly recall that he sold pieces, parts and wholes at train shows as well before going to eBay.?? These days I hardly see any A1G parts.? The eBay seller "soo-much-stuff" has a lot of Atlas parts but nothing that old.
I believe it's possible to remotor these units with something far better than the original-- perhaps Doug Gosha will along to comment on this point.??
Cheers,
George
