E7A questions

[VTBob]

Hi all,

I am wondering on the dimensions for the E7A units, because on another forum the fix for the 1980's rivarossi E9's is to use a Bachmann E7A power train. I have 3 beautifully done up custom (A-B-A) units (got in an estate sale of family who I didn't know had them) whose drivetrains have all but burnt out. I'm wondering if anyone else has used or tried this method since locating new motors for the old 1980's units is pretty much a bust.

Thanks,Rob
