I have the earliest cast version of this and have been working on it, intermittently, for over a year now. I reproduced the missing sheet metal cab components, and replaced the problematic direction switch, but the motor still refuses to run. I think the problem is an open field coil ground, which means I will be cracking open the motor housing. Thanks for posting. Your fantastic layout continues to inspire.
I have the cast aluminum version that a previous owner polished to a mirror finish and installed a Lionel Flying Yankee motor. Only problem is that the slide shoes on that motor squeel on the center rail. Thanks for watching.

Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, where did the Snow go?
This was the day before it snowed on select areas of the layout. Thanks for watching.
