Hoseeker has the diagrams and Golf Manor Hobbies has the parts. Golf Manor is very easy to work with and can quickly ship what you need, if they have it.

thank you for the info sources . any ideas on dcc such as do I need to isolate the can motor and what is the best way? since I use LENTZ decoders what is the best way to wire the motor pickups? has anyone done any retrofitting on these type of locomotives and what kind of problems did you encounter?
