<><>I'm trying to identify the G Gauge motorized chassis  used to motorize this Mr. Rogers Trolley.  What I know is the following:1. Brass wheels are 1.275 inches in diameter.  Axel to axel wheelbase is 3 inches                                    2. There are 2 visible brass strips that rub on the back of the brass wheels                                                 that serve as power pickups.                                                                                                                  3. motor is completly enclosed in the chassis.  Worm and gear drive to both sets of wheels                     4. Very quiet runner.5.  The Trolley is a dead ringer in painting and size that is used on the Mr. Rogers television show.<>6. The motorized chassis sits under the Trolley seats and is almost invisible.  The top of the  chassis is slightly rounded in the same plane as the motor  inside.   I've had the chassis apart to lube it (it was bone dry - not surprising cinsidering it sat doing nothing for 10 years). 7. The wooden Trolley bodies were purchased from Holgate and the motorized chassis was installed     by D.L. Suiters of Pa. They made about 500 (mine is # 486) and each had a label that identified the item.  8. I found no identifying information in or on the motorized chassis.  I would like to get a spare chassis. 9. I believe the unit was produced sometime between 1990 and 1995.10.  I have contacted Holgate and they acknowlege producing the body but they had noting to do with the company that installed the chassis.<>11.  I purchased mine brand new and unused (no visible wear on the wheels) from a hobby shop that said it was sitting on their shelf for over 10 years. <>I hope is enought information to help me identify the chassis.<>OLJOE
