From what I understand, Pittman is still in business but stopped making the motors back in the 70's to concentrate on their government business. The only problem I could see with these is the fact that the motors are very old and may need to be remagnitized. IMHO I thing the Hobbytown Chassis is still the best chassis available and can be handed down to your grand children as is. Detail wise their trucks leave a lot to be desired. They are also so designed that they will fit inside a narrow hood even with the DC-71 motors. Bear Locomotive Co. nopw produces the Hobbytown Chassis and has can motors available for repowering. <br /> <br />Rick
