New to the forum and O gauge model railroading.  Well, not that new, I did receive a Lionel Lines Steam set for Christmas back in 1968 and I don't know where the little fella has wandered off to and would love to locate another one.  Three years ago I purchased a second home in a small town close to Foley, AL.  After visiting the wonderful O Gauge model display they have there, I got hooked bad.

My first purchase was the Hogwarts Express and I set him up during the fall.  I then purchased a 1995 O27 8913 Santa Fe Super Chief Set at a show in Foley not long after purchasing my retirement home.  I've noticed here lately that the Super Chief was running not up to speed so I decided to open him up to see what was going on.  Thanks to this forum, I learned how to take the cover and wheels off and did a little investigating.  The plastic piece that one of the motors is attached to is cracked.  I attached some pics with hopes that you folks would be able to point me to where I might find parts.  I would like to convert this guy eventually to Electric RR.  Is this possible?  Will these motors work with the ERR boards?  Thanks

There is a Hobby Shop in Pensacola (TRAINS BY JOHNSON), I have left some money in that shop.

 

Dave, is the repair/salesman , a great person for questions and advice.

They sell all gauges/scales of trains and a good inventory of "pre-owned" Marion (Owner) and Dave always take time to welcome and help. Found the shop while working in Pensacola, while on vacation a couple of years later, walked in and they knew me as if it was only yesterday. (I'm pretty sure they didn't know my name ) , but did remember me as a customer and asked- where you been?
