Those are some old drives in that Fairbanks! i have an old drive like that in one of my E60s, I've been considering replacing them with better motors. I saw someone stick an Atlas motor in the Athearn pieces, but i don't know how much that increases performance, given the gearing. Still, even a PPW motor seems to run better than the stock open can motors.
Cool on the Steam engines!
