Found a Locomotive!

Nice find. Just to let you know, these sets use a B- with hot chassis. I'm currently restoring one from the same era. These are a nightmare to restore. The only thing I can think of the locos and other GE sets like this... What was GE thinking? Fix the hot chassis problem. I have the factory service manual and I can make copies if you wish. With that in mind... Good night and good luck.

What exactly do you mean? Did these sets have a series filament string that early?

I'd love to see a PDF of the FSM for that set--FWIW....
