Hey, Ken!
Glad to see you got the #16 AHM 0-4-0 switcher. I was starting to think it was lost in the mail. If you manage to rebuild it, you are indeed a fine fellow. I would strip it for parts and let it go...
I see them up for sale occasionally, but not that often. Finding parts might take some patience.

Todd, I got another one from a friend that did not work and now I have enough parts so I can get at least one up and running. Thanks. Ken

Ahhh, that's the trap, isn't it?
I'll grab a donor for parts and them decide to repair it... Then I need more parts... Like another doner unit... Then I decide to fix that too...
It's a vicious circle.
Best of luck, and keep those progress photos coming! -Todd
