@Raven87 posted:The box says ‘High Torque Pittman Motor’. Is that the same as a Pullmor?
No, the Pittman motor is the Cadillac of motors for our model trains. Before about 2006-7, that was the standard for big steam from Lionel and MTH. Around that time, Pittman was bought by Ametek, and the motors skyrocketed in price and the model train manufacturers went to alternatives not long after that. By around 2009, Pittman was no longer used in most model train products. I think one of the last ones I've seen is the Vision Line Big Boy from 2014 still has a Pittman motor, but that's an oddity.
