Hello people.
I have had good luck with ebay and want an HO scale GE 70ton Diesel for my Pere Marquette in Allegan Michigan. Which box color should I avoid and which box or phase have people had good luck with? I am asking about the gear issues, not debate or discuss, just which I might have good luck with.
Thank you.
P.S. I know that older 70 ton had two motors. The black boxes are Spectrum which I believe are single motor and may have gear issues from what I have read. Does this make the blue boxes be the most recent run? Have people had good luck with these?
P.S. Again. People are using the 44ton and 70ton chassis and drives for retrofit MDC Roundhouse Diesel and Climax. Yet there still is the question rather the most recent run of these is the most reliable. Does not help to acquire a donor drive if it is relegated to the scrap line.
Re-phrase, does everyone have good luck with the HO Scale GE 70ton Diesel? I believe there are three generations. Currently the replacement trucks in Bachmann 'Parts' state they are third generation.
Thank you.
