I have an Atlas SW-8 Switcher (item#3013016) that derailed at a switch and tore off one of it's pickup roller assemblies. That took out the hole in the truck frame that it was screwed to. Does anybody know where I can get a new truck frame? This engine is a good runner and I would like to fix it if possible.

Ron,
If you are talking about the frame that the sideframes and rollers are attached to, Atlas has them in stock. (or they did 3 weeks ago)
Atlas #619403 $3.95

Plastic mounting for roller pick-up (Gear Cover) 610301 I believe. This is the plastic cover on the bottom of the gear drive.
Contact Bill Seratelli.

Remove the bottom frame with the gear box cover. (4) screws.
Gear box cover is in the middle of this pieces
The gear box cover (Plastic) drops out from the inside.
Part removed. This one is also broken, missing the third rail pick-up mounting stud.
Pick-up installed with wire screw removed.
I've broken several of these pieces. The small rollers on occassion will drop down and catch in a switch.

The truck frame bottom looks symetrical but there is a left, right, front, back, be careful on re-assembly.

Congrats, Mike!
You are right on the PN, the number I listed is for the gearcover assembly.

Thanks Malcolm . Ron will save a few bucks. It would be nice if we had an online exploded parts diagram for the SW series. Bill Seratelli has been great over the years in getting me the parts I wanted with little or no error. These SW's have been around since 2,000???

Thanks Guys for the information. This is a nice engine that I got at a great price and I want to keep it running.
