AHM did import a ROCO made loco. But it was an Alco C424 and was available in Jersey Central. The C424 is actually a very good loco. It has only the front truck powered, but came with a very nice 5 pole open frame motor. As long as the motor is in good shape, you should have a nice runner! If the motor is bad, it is easily replaced by a flat sided can motor.
