If it's the motor I'm thinking of (the self-contained "power truck"), then parts might be easier to find. Tyco used them in quite a few of their engines. If it was me, I'd buy another engine and gut it for parts. You can sometimes find them cheap at shows, since no one wants them. If that fails, do what I did with my old Alco... park it near your enginehouse!

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Baticus--

I have an old Tyco Chattanooga loco. It has some cracked drive wheels and the boiler is broken. I LOVED that loco when I was a kid, but I was just going to toss it out as it doesn't seem worth fixing. Does yours have the brass-colored, flat "pancake" motor? I could just send you the whole motor assembly if you want it. E-mail me off line.

well i'm going to take fergus' advice and post my old thread under this title...
i'm in need of the gear that goes right on the electric motor, i was mistaken by it being just a 9 or 10 tooth, it actually tucks behind the other gear, and it should be a 46 tooth gear, with an 8 tooth center(double gear, having the 8 tooth on one side of it)

not really much description there...but i tried the best i could, thanks for any help
