Since I am an avid and forthright supporter of keeping equipment servicable as long as possible, I suggest a rebuild. In this case all of the tyco drive componets are junk. I would buy a new F-Unit frame and Drive from Proto-Power West. Find some Athearn "Blomberg B" trucks some where and put them on the new trucks. I would also get a Close Coupling, and Diaphram Kit from American Models Limited, This might also be a good time to put in a walthers F-Unit detail set, as well as an American Model Builders Lazer cut window set. and I guess since I got you this far into it, might as well drill out the fans and replace them with the photoetched replacements offered by Cannon and Company. <br /> <br />When complete, run through the paint shop and apply your favorite railroad paint scheme. <br /> <br />Good Luck.
