I have two General Electric 5 GHM 839 R 2 traction motors on our Atlas scale car of which I am trying to find some info. on. The data tag is just about unreadable, but I was able to make out the model no. Particularly I need to determine their maximum RPM, horsepower rating and amp draw. The voltage is 250VDC.

Seems fairly difficult to find data on older GE motors.
