Reply to "Lionel 18003 1501 DLW Engine Bushing Repair"

Hi,

I finally picked up one of these at a fair price. It looks like it has some runtime on it and the brass gear looks great with no signs of wear. How would I know if the motor bushings are correct or the incorrect oversize ones? I removed the motor and tried to check for play between the bushing and armature and it seems normal but I also don't want to tear up the brass gear so I was going to replace both motor bushings anyway. Am I being overly paranoid?

Also the smoke cam on the front axle was broken in half in the well so I'll end up pulling off the front 2 axles to replace that. I saw 671-182 as the suggested replacement on another post in the form but that is not available. Anyone know if 610-8016-025 would work? It is from the NW 612 J that came out a few years after the 18003.

Thanks!

Andrew
