Atlas/Rivarossi E440 Locomotive

Davinia Bruce
 

Hi my name is Davinia and live in New Zealand and new to this group.


I have a problem with an Atlas/Rivarossi e440 Italian Railways loco #2691 that I brought to repower,


On removing the shell I discovered the 4 intermediate spur gears were missing from the trucks,


I'm trying to find out what other loco's may use the same gears, would anybody know where I could get a parts diagram for this locomotive ? Or a parts diagram for the Rivaossi EMD SW1500 as this may use the same spur gears.


Any help would be much appreciated
 

Hi Davinia,
???? Our member Doug can probably provide that info. On the A1G page is a link to his A1G locomotive page. He does frequent here and should see your e-mail with your question.

P.S. Some of the loco's sometimes do share similar parts. it's cost effective for the manufacturer to do so and not have to make one of a kind parts (especially on these early runs) that can drive the cost up in manufacturing a product.

Well, I have been trying for the last hour to upload the exploded diagram of the SW1500 Cow and have had nothing but trouble. It's amazing to me how almost nothing on the internet or with PCs really work the way they are supposed to anymore.
?
Can somebody go to the files section and click on the file to see what displays for you? I just get a dang screen which shows what's in my scan folder and wants me to save the file that's supposed to be the exploded diagram. Screwy!? I would appreciate it. If you get the diagram, OK. If you get the same thing as me, I will delete it and try something else.

Thanks Doug, that scan has been most helpful I will now be?confident to try and?locate a Cow or? calf for?some donor gears, as the E440 units are so hard to find.

You're welcome. I'm glad it is visible.
