I noticed in your 0-8-0 pictures you seem to have a real coupler on the

front. Where are they available? Also, I found a set of springs and brushes that work as replacements at a slot car racing place. They aren't the brand you suggested but ones the slot car people use as substitutes for the ones you knew about. dgosha@... wrote: I have added a reassembly page for the A1G locomotives to my site.

Hi,
Alright! I'm glad you found some brushes and springs. I hope that is the only thing wrong with the motor. I used the Micro-Trains conversion on the IHB 0-8-0 which includes a replacement pilot that has an MT coupler mounted on it. That was many years ago. The MT conversion is their catalog number 1041. There is some cutting involved. You have to cut the original pilot away from the cylinder block and attach the new one from the MT conversion. The tender conversion is just replacing the original rear truck with one supplied with an MT coupler mounted. You just move the wheels, wheel wipers, and screw to the new truck. It's not one of the easiest conversions but it wasn't too bad. The AT&SF 0-8-0 is as it came from Atlas with a dummy knuckle on the front and Rapido on the tender. Keep me posted on your progress. Regards, Doug |
