Post your non-O scale stuff here!
Are there sources of information about AHM and/or Rivarossi HO streamlined steam engines that you would recommend? Perhaps a summary of which ones were produced and when, or parts diagrams, photos, etc. Tips and tricks to maintain/repair them would be great. And good dealers or eBay sellers from whom to purchase engines and/or parts? Thank you!

I have two Rivarossi steam engines, NYC Hudson and PRR Y6b. I've owned both new since my childhood. I've replaced motors on both (found on Ebay). I've checked at a couple of my LHS's (Trainworld and Nassau Hobby), haven't had any luck at either. Seems that when Rivarossi went under much of the documentation was lost. Parts are on the second hand market gotta hunt around.
Great loco's for sure.
Some answers might be found here (with Google translate):

There's a website called (I think) "hoseeker". He has put up just about anything you might need to know in HO scale. Check it out.

Hope you're still a member. Do you have any info on where I could get one of these, A Rivarossi 2598?
