well I had found a pretty reasonable solution to the motor problem i had found some Igarashi 12v motors with dual 2mm shafts @$5.70 per motor i did research they went for $30.00 and i also found out they are the same motor that comes in the Broadway Limited diesel locomotives/ i bought flywheels from A-Line @$9.00 per set and you may need some of their drive line products spline shafts yokes etc all which are not expensive so that for about $25.00 per loco you can have a smooth running machine/I had re motored all of my GP40X,even #7000 that ran great i figured if all had they same motors from the same motor lot.so i had bought 2 more units #,s7001&7002 one of the units from a member in here .so now all 3 of Southerns GP40X,s run like a clock in an intermodal train that i had modeled from a photograph of the units pulling 89ft flats with trailers on them/any way the motors are still available in eBay from seller bearbon for $5.70 per unit what ya have loose? ??with plenty to gain!#,s7001&7002 had to be stripped and repainted and decal ed from Norfolk Southern units back to their original livery Tuxedo fever!!!!!!forever I've seen these but never been in a position to buy, especially considering I had no idea if they were any good? My worry was purchasing and securing flywheels to them.

The links are no longer valid. Is there an update? I suspect Bob's articles will eventually be hosted on the Southern Railway Historical & Modeling Resources page. He has a few articles there, and a placeholder for the GP40X article. It seems to me that the placeholder has been there a while without an update.
