Zealot

Hi guys, im hoping someone can help me out with my Athearn GP50. Its in the UP Paint #53 and its a Blue Box kit.

It did not come with the handrails so i have to get a set and paint them.

but im having problems with the inside of the loco. The motor was out when i got the loco (not under the shell) and ive noticed some broken parts as well :eek: :cry:

ill post some pics of that stuff:






Whats that little piece called that broke off? i need to get a replacement for it. The other one on the other side is still in tacked and i was able to put it back on (it was also loose in the box).

Also what is the easiest way to assemble the motor back in the frame? I cant seem to get the things in the picture above to go inside the rods that are on the trucks?? :confused: The thing thats sticking up in the picture below



I think i know how to put the metal clip back in so that shouldnt be a problem



I think thats all that needs to be done to fix the loco and get it running again, but im not sure.....


Also, i want to install a Dynamic Break for this loco like on my BN GP50: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=ATH46638

how would i go about doing that? Do i have to cut the opening for it out of the shell?
