Well, I've now got the SD402 stripped down,ready for the new parts to arrive. Only one of the trucks,in case things go pear shaped, I've got a reference to look at. New wheels (Athearn), new motor, and I'm going to hard wire the trucks so,in effect,I'll isolate the frame. I don't know how old this loco is, maybe someone on here can help? It's got plastic sideframes, I think iron wheels and no sign of any lighting being fitted. The body is held on by 4 pips on the frame Couplings are frame mounted. White rubber motor mounts.
It's a good day when you wake up in the morning. It's not your problem if you don't.
