Vintage (1970s) Atlas GP-9

[hobbyists]

I have inherited an n gauge lot. I have a 1970s vintage GP-9 Atlas locomotive #4051 that is missing the drive gear and retaining pin for the rear truck. Anyone know where I can find this nearly impossible to find part? The front one looks like a "bakelite" piece that is salmon colored. This unit has minimal run time, the motor and worm gears work perfectly, and the rest of the innards look brand new. Would love to get this old girl back to pulling stock of the same vintage.

Hi!
Your best bet is to try to find another disabled GP-9 and use parts from that. I do not think the body will fit a modern GP-7/9/18/20 chassis from Atlas or Life-Like(Walthers and now Atlas).
