John needs help from others in the hobby and asks:

"I have a United PFM 4-6-2 that runs for a while then slows down to a stop. My power supply does not indicate a short and other loco's run fine on the same track. It looks like the motor brushes are not making good contact due to spring tension. Is there a replacement motor or brushes available for these old engines."
