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

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.
