I was going to order online, but need to know first; Are the left and right wheel, on each axel, insulated from each other? Is there any continuity between the left and right wheel? I need metal wheels to use with track power brush power pick-up. No one selling knows the answer.
Thanks, Ron

Hello. I have been in G scale for 25 years, and done quite a bit of improvising and custom work. I recently picked up a cute little Bachmann 2-4-2 Union Pacific #3 steam locomotive. (have not received it as yet). I have not been able to find anything on the internet in regard to this engine, other than one article in Garden Magazine that says that they are lucky to pull one car, downhill, as far as power. Also, no mention of when they were made or when they were discontinued. I very rarely even see them on ebay. I plan to install an Aristocraft Porter motor and drive, with good sound. Any informaion on these engines, even other road names such as the Parire Flyer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
