JUSTIN ; I like it. I trade the parts you need for it. I have no use for those F frames. You can keep them. Have you determined what is the problum with the SW drive. Do you need something else. frank

Just the SW7 half pad motor pads. It has plastic sideframes and a brass colored motor case. Bluebox era. Just any bluebox era of this style in a SW1000/1500 will work. Had gears on hand. Consider coach even trade? Have the Athearn parts and any Rivarossi Casey Jones tender trucks?

Hey Guys I have an entire Athearn Dealers Locomotive service kit.

Hey Frank:
How much Athearn service work do you do?
I have an Athearn Dealers Service Kit. Just wondered if you were interested?
I have a scan of the inside cover "legend" if you're interested.
