I am new to posting in general and to the pre-war AF addiction in general so here goes.
I have an AF1218 loco with a missing cab top as shown:
and an AF 3107 missind a motor and copula:
Small parts such as bells and pantographs seem to be available from parts dealers but body parts and motors can be tough to find. I'm hoping that someone here might have or be a source for these things. Also I'm having a hard time finding out which motors go with which locomotives for pre-war AF. Even the TCA museum doesn't seem to have much info on this subject. It would be very helpful to those of us who are crazy enough to try to assemble our treasures from the parts we can find on the internet or at train shows to have photos of the insides of pre-war equipment. I have already run into too many pre-war items cobbed together from incorrect parts or even from parts made by different pre-war manufacturers. It would be great if we could post photos and correct identifications of motors which go with our AF locos. To that end I am posting photos showing six views of locomotive motors.
First a 1218 motor that I'm pretty sure is correct:
Second an unidentified AF motor:
If anyone can help with identification of this one it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has a photo of the correct 3107 motor it would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Eljay
