However, I have a #3100 Great Northern 4-8-4 from (I think) 1982,
This locomotive is just a 736 Berkshire with smoke deflectors and a 2-axle pilot truck. Parts are extremely available, and it's highly unlikely you'd need any for a long, long time.
and the early '90's #5340 Scale Hudson that I'm afraid to run for lack of repair information and parts availability. I have the Greenberg PW repair manual, and several online sources cover just PW trains up to 1969 but no further.
This one I'm not as familiar with. I know it's basically a 700E but does it have a 700E motor or a 773 type motor?
I also have several accessories in need of repair but am unable to find replacement parts for them (#6-2313 Floodlight tower comes to mind, although it's just connections and bulbs, I can't find any repair info or parts lists for it).
Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
Roger
