Repairing MPC Sante F3 GP-20 Santa Fe | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello,

Hoping someone can point me in the correct direction. I am servicing/rebuilding the above locomotive. Most of my trains are postwar and as such I do not have any of the shop manuals for later trains. I am trying to find a part number for the correct brushes. I did find a break down called the GP-20 Diesel Power Unit on Lionel's Website. While it was helpful with some of the items I need to purchase it separates the electric motor into a unit called Motor Truck 8030-100. So far, I have been unable to locate a parts break down for 8030-100. Can anyone help or let me know which brushes were used with that unit?

Please let me know. Sincerely, Chuck Wray

The brushes are 8040-150

The parts breakdown for your locomotive is here, on pages 15-32 & 15-33

You're welcome.

Half the fun is servicing our trains. The other half is running them.

Post war 622-121 brush should work just fine if you have them.

Thank you. Thankfully, I have the 622-121 in my inventory of spares!

Best, Chuck

The 622-121 brushes are the standard replacements. The 8040 brushes are obsoleted.
