Thanks Ngauger. That's the top set of brush holders and commutator, on the opposite side is the gearbox. There is also another set of brushes on the underside of the motor. I got pulled away from the computer before I could finish the post.

Here is a little home work that I did yesterday for the "B" . While the B was parked in Winslow junction a few years back copper thieves broke in and grabbed everything they could. It looks like they tried to cut one of the airlines from the control valve but gave up part way through. In this pic you can see the damage. At this point all that I have done is go over it with a wire wheel to clean it up.    

After a good torching and a few drips of solder she is all fixed. I also replaced the rubber O-ring .    

I was able to test it up to 120 PSI with my compressor at home and she held just fine.

Also going on in the restoration shop,,, The Boston and Mane 3713's tender has started it's restoration.    

   

The cistern is being removed so that work can begin.
