Remember this? Ouch!!

Well I found a motor truck assembly on Flea-bay and got it for $49.95 with the shipping and it worked great! So now my first engine I ever got is back and running.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice!!!

I thought I should add this information for those of you that may wonder why it looks like an 8020.

She has been morphed over the years. She has the original 202 frame with replacement motor, 8020 shell and 211 front truck with an 8021 B unit

Kind of like George Wahsington's axe on display in a museum - sixth handle and third head, but the very same axe the chopped down the cherry tree! Smile, Wink & Grin

Good job.  Looks like it pulls pretty good too.
