Roundhouse Locomotive question
Posted by CP5415 on Sunday, May 9, 2004 10:18 PM
I have in my possession a Roundhouse SP 0-6-0 switcher.
My dad brought it back from California about 25 years ago.
It's been in a box up until a few years ago & I didn't know who made it until I was thumbing my way through Walthers print cataloge.
Page 75, right side of the page, mid way down. item #480-411 exactly as it is in the picture.
The thing didn't run out of the box when new. I would like to re-motor it.
Any suggestions on what would be the best motor to put in this thing so I can breath some life back into it's boiler?

Thanks in advance

Gordon
