Giorgio,
(Dodi can you translate again please)
I wish to express my thanks to Andrea Pratesi for the brilliant repair work he has done for me, firstly on an old E626 motor that he has rebuilt and rewound the armature, which is a difficult undertaking providing the correct wire diameter and the number of windings. Secondly on an American Atlantic Locomotive sent to be by post from the USA which had been opened by customs and subsequently damaged by someone unknown.
The cowcather and Westinghouse pump has been replaced through Andrea’s help for which I am utterly grateful.
I send this information by way of "Rivarossi - Memory" because there may be other Italian and English modellers whom have a very old damaged model and find it almost impossible to obtain spare parts, well all is not lost, you can be assured that Andrea can work miracles! I am so pleased what he has done for myself. Please incorporate this information in your Maintenance section.
Best Regards
