Hi, Justin. See the red loco I posted, it needs a lantern, driveshaft, decor pieces on top of the boiler, and especially a wheel for the tender. At the hobby shop today, the guy looked through a whole box of wheels, none that small. They have points for bearings. He might have called them 33, but I'm not sure. Certainly smaller than usual. He said it was Rivorossi.
I'll have to patch the cattle catcher, I don't think it's replaceable.
Currently I'm researching magnets for my Lionel motor rebuild. The one in there now is 9/16" pole to pole, X 7/16" X 3/8". There is space for 9/16" pole to pole X 11/16" X 3/8". I'm looking at those neodymium ones, but not sure the poles are in the right place. I may buy a small batch to experiment with, if no one has others kicking around.
The motor in the Lionel is not big, I'll post pics as I go along. Not against fitting in some other motor.
