Hi all,

Good  to be  back  here after  an  enforced  break,

I have started  sorting my layout again and need  some  information about Atlas E8'S made in Italy  some  years ago a  buddy let me  have several non working chassis for  them but the only thing i  can find wrong is  the commutators have all  burnt out on them as  there is no  other  reason for them not to  work ....  therefore is there a supplier out  there  for  the  commutators as i  have one  running on the  layout now, it  would be good  to  get  these  old  heavy locos going again,the  commutators  are vertical  to  the  truck so i  am  having difficulty sourcing them.

Many  thanks in advance for any  help  gratefully  recieved.

You should post this in the model railroader forum...You might get much more responses there.
