if it helps I bought this GP of of him with this low end gear set up I did not want to pay the difference .. he wanted.. so we removed it and put the stock one in.. But since I made my attic layout and was testing and having trouble using my postwar engines on my grades .. I had to always adjust speed and wanted to have a one set voltage that would run my train with out having to throttle up and down.. when I have company over... So I saw him at a train show and asked him if I could try it .. put it in and it worked!
So what I want to let you know the stock 2028-100 was in it and the new improved version bolted in no armature exchange just the 2028-100 modified..dan
