Thanks guy. This helps greatly. Yes premier. I had talked to Mike, the breakdown was done with a PS-2 5V version which is why I was questioning the 30mm flywheel with him. Most PS-3 premier have used a smaller flywheel, but I want to confirm. Also, does the pittman bracket look right to your version Vernon?
The other interesting thing is that the Y-3 is not 2 rail convertibles like normal Premier. No switch, tender trucks have bronze bushing both sides. I guess they just used the 5V chassis when they made this PS-3 version.
I guess those flywheels are the same at 27mm x 13mm. Duplicate part number maybe??? G

I'm guessing, based on who you got the locomotive from, that not much is "factory correct", since it's probably a mix of parts from several locomotives.

With a little bit of filing, grinding, and drilling you can mix PS1/PS2/PS3 era parts together and everything works.
