Welcome Iruleyou05,

Not sure if you would want to spend much money on this locomotive as Greenberg's Priceguide gives a rather low monetary figuire to this locomotive, $32.00 as high price for one in excellant condition.
Look around and see if you can find a replacement motor that fits your frame. I did this with a Lionel 235 Scout locomotive and converted it to DC as the motor fit in rather good and the 235's motor was worn out and the other locomotive's shell was damaged by heat and was no good.

Well, This is a 244 Chassis and assembly, that was retrofitted to fit into a 6110, and vise versa. So basically, it started as a 6110, and now has all the workings of a 244, im just wondering about the stamp, and where i could get it, also, since you happen to have a book, heres my other loco's...
