I am thinking about restoring a Plymouth switcher. I was wondering if Plymouth is still in business? Anybody have experience with rebuilding a torch converter? If so, do you have any do's or dont's?<p>Gerry<br> hottshot65@aol.com |

Check out a site called CRITTER CONNECTIONS for such things. Specializes in small industrial railroads.<p>TORCH converter? Maybe TORQUE? As in transmission? Probably there is a large industrial transmission rebuilder in most major industrial urban centers who can offer advice and do the job right the first time. CSRM has a centercab with an automatic transmission in it that was rebuilt about 10 years ago.<p>Dave <br> lathro19@idt.net |

The plymouth works was recently shut down and auctioned. Plymouth used many parts from outside sources, particularly engines and hydralic drives, so a little detective work will allow you to find other sources. Plymouth specific parts will have to be fabricated. I haven't heard anything on the drawings and plans which the factory held, but I hope they went to a museum. <p>Randy Hees<br> hees@ix.netcom.com |
