I found a #610 postwar NW-2 in a local flee market for $35. Once home, I found a burnt slap-up motor. My junk tub holds a Pullmore motor and truck from a 1973 Lionel GP-7. Assuming this is possible, do I reuse the PW 3 position E-unit or do I need the 70's electric version? I really wanted a NW-2 on my layout. I'll settle for a working Franken-engine.

If the 1973 motor will fit in the early PW motor truck the mechanical E unit will work fine. The old mechnical E units will work with all pullmor motors. It is seldom that a pullmor motor armature and field winding both burn up. On your original PW motor are both armature and field burned ? The reason I ask is these 3 pole motors are VERY EASY to rewind. j
John,
I will replace/repair until she run again. When I compared the 1955 power truck to it's 1973 counterpart, it was obvious choice. I will "put it back right."

Sorry you ended up with a problem Bill. Use Lionel NW2s with pullmores, in good running condition, can be found in many flea markets etc. for around $45, with a little bargaining.
I hope you have good luck with your repair.
