A1G Locomotives Questions from 'Down Under'

[email protected] #895 Forwarded from about as far away as you can get from here and still be on Earth? : ) ? Mike is a member of our group.?? Feel free to respond to the list... we could use the traffic! ? Hi George and Co, I'm Mike, all the way from the West Coast of Australia, about 20,000 miles from you. I have an ATLAS 1G locomotive, FM C-Liner?2 and 3 axle drive, which I bought new in Queensland Australia in 1972. As many have experienced, ?the motor is now U/S. My questions to the group are :- Are there any parts available to remotor this loco and how can I get them? Has anyone fitted a replacement chassis? Does anyone want to part with one they have running? George - please keep up the blog ok Best regards, Mike Gloss Duncraig, Perth, Western Australia

Benjamin Scanlon All Messages By This Member #897 hi, this is difficult as you want a very long three axle truck on the rear.? ? looking at the plans of the real thing n George Elwoods Fallen Flags site: ? ? what you need is a mech with 31' truck centres and a 9'4" lead truck.? The one that has this arrangement will be the RS1.? Then you've somehow got to transplant a truck from a PA1 or an Erie Built into where the rear truck goes on the RS1 mech, keeping the same truck centre ... so the middle axle should be at the midpoint of where the current rear truck is on the RS1.?i don't know if this can be done, mind ... it might be easier to have either the front or rear truck as?a dummy as two and three axle gear towers may be different heights. you may find the older Lifelike PA with the plastic chassis a? bit easier as it is probably easier to shorten. good luck as this is not an easy one. ? ? ben
