DanssuperO posted:My 8020 Santa Fe alco I put a postwar 200 series motor in it in . the b unit I put a Williams true sound LOVE it! same with my GP Illinois 8030 MPC I added postwar magnet traction and postwar motor..
Bought these engines back in the day (70's) when Mom threw all postwar trains out thinking they were bad..So I made sure they were just as good when I got them as they are today..
My 8020 still has the original motor and gears (new brushes), runs like a champ, and has more hours on it than the real one probably did.
