I think you may need to replace the brush and spring in the brush assembly of your Atlas RSD4/5 Diesel locomotive.

Yes. Those are the brushes and springs.
You can shorten the bronze contact strips and solder insulated wires to them.

In trying to add DCC to an Atlas RSD4/5 Diesel (No. 7080), I inadvertently messed up the brush assemblies so that motor is not functioning. I knocked the brush "caps" off and whatever was in the hole underneath is no longer there. I'm assuming that it should be a brush and spring in that hole, but wanted to confirm here? I did see a mangled spring come out one of them. My questions are:
How to repair this?
What goes in that hole? Assuming a brush and spring (in that order?), then replacing the brush cap/terminal on it
I found this item on the Atlas website, hoping this is the parts I need?Chalking it up to a learning experience. Thanks in advance!
