MOTOR FOR NYC 153, ONE FOUND COULD USE ANOTHER

O Gauge JimO Gauge JimOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

One of my favorite aspects of train collecting is finding misused, beat up items ready  for the scrap heap and to give them another chance at life.  Right now I am working on a NYC 153 shell and frame that was bent, rusted and had a "zillion" coats of paint globbed on it.

 

I am at the point now I need a motor for it.  It uses a type II humped back motor with a reversing drum.  Actually I have an original drum so if it were missing, no problem.  If anyone has one to sell or knows of one, please let me know.  Also, I could use a used set of rubber stamps for it.

 

I am attaching work in process pictures.  I haven't started on the rails or bell yet so you can see what a mess it was.

 

Thanks much and have a super Labor Day Holiday,

Go to the TCA book or LCCA and look up Marty Visnick in Canton, MA.  He has boxes of those parts.  Tell him I told you to contact him.  He is always in the red hall at York. 

I understand what you are trying to do.  Back in my early York days I was looking for a motor for my 752 that I was restoring.  When the purple hall was opened with the chicken coops in half the hall, I found a new motor in the wrapper motor for $35.00.  That was a lot of money and I still have it and run it to this day.
