AML GP-60 Overview Been advertised forever.To their credit, apparently AML was very responsive to some reviewers of the prototypes. I did help give input, which was eventually addressed.The motor blocks have steel worms, and nylon worm gears, nice large ball bearingsPower pickup is by wipers on the axles like USAT diesels Prototype issues:1. logo and stripes below the grill on long hood not level (surely will be corrected)2. motor block looks virtual clone of USAT design, 3. axle bushings look silvery, not brass, can you determine metal? - final will be bronze4. power pickup internal wipers (look like spring bronze wire), possible weak point, short circuits will remove temper from this and it will lose contact.5. where is the insulator in the wheelset, it must be in the center worm gear.6. The worm gear looks strange, like there is a brass plate embedded into the sides of it7. the worm appears metal8. further inspection appears that one half axle is splined to set gauge, other side is fixed to the gear9. the closeup of the wheel makes be believe sintered, also there are mold marks at right angles to the lines you would have seen if CNC machined solid steel - production wheels will be blackened SS wheels,10. but looking at the face of the wheel, it looks like machine marks, but those could be from the mold.11. the internal use of rods to distribute power is another clone of the USAT design12. note the adjustment of the wheel gauge appears to yield non-symmetrical spacing of wheel to gear 13. wheels scale to 38.7"14. flange depth looks ok need ball bearings, the internal bushings take all the loco weight, not true with USAT, this loco is 11 poundsneed polyfuses to protect whisker The model: The chassis is a long piece of metal down the center Mechanics:The motor blocks are very similar to USAT, but do not passs the weight through the axle tips.
