    As noted below, NWSL is still in business. I ordered some parts from them acfew months ago. That motor, though they still sell it, is back from the day when it was a DC to DC swap, normally on high end brass. Those locos had great details and were custom for a specific road, but had crap open frame motors.

    Good vid thanks!, i bought many parts from NWSL. great store...I'd love to see a rework of the Rivarossi Casey Jones#382, 4-6-0, it has a cheap 3 pole vertical type motor that could use upgrading tho it is from the late 70's the company is overdue for a remodel of that unit, but i love the look of that engine..

    Before AHM it was once distributed by Lionel When they were getting into 'HO' scale in 1957 (first phase)

    That would be exciting, to find a brand new motor (not wired) in a locomotive that did not run. - Paul

      While the HO Rivarossi were not in the same league as Fleischmann or Marklin, I would not say they were junk. Not sure about the N Scale
