N scale Atlas / Rivarossi 2-8-2 with a refurbished motor

Did you know you can get refurbished motors for your 2-8-2?
If you want to get a hold of the guy that did the motor for me. Here’s a link to one of his videos.

I am glad you got her running well again. I know its easy to get emotionally attached to these old locomotives. Thanks for sharing. Dave

It’s been a journey. Very satisfying to get it right!

Also #-6-# wheelstets on R L locomotives ment the center of gravity was over the middle driver. On am #-8-# the center of gravity was between the second and third wheels

That`s good to know.

Great job. I have been studying your Kato Mikado videos since I have recently fallen in love with them. I recently purchased a used one that was probably over oiled. I am worried that it may need replaced. Do you know anywhere that can rebuild the Kato Motor or perhaps rebuild them.

It would be nice if you could remove the brushes and clean them. Here’s a video that might help
