alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
rs2mikeI don't know much about these. Got one for christmas from the parents. Had not been run in years so it is going to need cleaned and lubed. Since i run dcc will it be possible to add a decoder to this or no? Would it benefit from a remotor? If so has any one remotered one and what did you use? I plan on a complete strip of the paint in the sand blaster and do a repaint i would post pics but photobucket changed the website around and i don't like the new and my laptop is being a P.i.t.a lately. Thanks for any advice Mike
If this is a 2-4-2 it is not an Atlantic
While it never hurts to ask over here (many O gaugers also do Large scale), you might get a better range of input from our sister magazine Garden Railways' forum since their magazine covers Large scale trains.

Good Lord. I haven't seen one of those early POS AristoCraft imported Half Zero engines in decades.
HOSeeker has parts breakdowns on some of that stuff, Yardbird and Vintage HO Yahoo groups deal with the vintage stuff.
Remotor might work (last one I did was an old Rivarossi 2-8-0), but if it works, and open frame, just isolate the grounded brush spring at the brush with a piece of wiring insulation.
If it was mine, and held some sort of sentimental value, I'd clean it and put it on a shelf.
rs2mikeIt is ho scale
You might get a lot more help on model railroader site as they deal in that stuff more were mainly O and S in here.
