Thanks Ken.
I guess they were not proud enough to put their name on it.eh.
I would like to find a gearing guide for HO. So far all the gears I have found are the same size center. I could be wrong,I remember I was once last year but I forgot what ta hell it was. The gears are another thing. What gear goes with what model. Is this a big problem or are they all about the same.?????????
If anyone can shed some light on this for this old feller that would be great.eh.
Thanks.

| This may or may not help. I have found that Model Power generally speaking makes very few of their own items. Most were rebranded and imported to the US under their name. I have MP stuff that is actually AMH, IHC, Mehano and others. If you keep an eye out on those other manufacturers stuff from around the same time period you may find something that matches up. On a side note I had two of those with nylon gears in them. Both ran backwards of all other locomotives from day one. Also they both had the same fate of cracked gears. Be cautious buying ones for parts.
