I bought this 333 from the bay. It was completely torn down, wheels and all so had to be put back together. The shell is nice and is is a smoker so I decided to buy it (pretty decent price) Only pieces missing were one of the vinyl idler gears and the motor brushes. A Marx buddy provided the gear and I always keep a good supply of brushes. The most difficult part is getting the wheels aligned properly, it's very critical for smooth operation. Got them on pretty straight, the armature back in with new brushes and packed some insulation in the smoke unit. The armature sprang to life, the smoke unit works great, and it runs really smooth, reverser functions as it should. Another great locomotive restored!
