I had one rusted like that, and the magnetic particles in it rusted and expanded, jamming the armature. I had to dig it out and the magnet just crumbled.

If the magnet ring has rusted, you just have to dig it out and rescue the armature. The armature in mine had some minor pitting but cleaned up fine and works in other motor housings. But you'll need a new motor for the Mike. Do you have any spares?

I'll just have to get in there and see what's going on. I do have some can motors.

The RS 11 from today's show went through the shops, receiving new traction tires, new front coupler, full lube and wheel cleaning.
The rear handrail is missing, so maybe I can come up with a donor for that. Good running old engine.

The Pemco SD 35 is one I never knew existed until today. It mainly just needs railings and is missing 1 plastic wheel. Runs fine.
Lots of Onions today.

The SD35 is made by Pemco. The DD40 is an Athearn somebody stuck Tyco Powertorque trucks under. That should be a felony.

Neither...it's another model: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_H-24-66
