Bob, I'm looking at the the color of the tower itself. It's black with the red dot (bearings?) and not the silvery looking metal of my geeps. The color matches the towers of my newer 6 axle locomotives with springs at the axle bearings. Also the top nut is identical to the 3 axle 'spring drive' mechanism. AM has a 2 axle 'spring drive'.
I jumped to my conclusion based on these facts. However I am prone to twitchy deductive reasoning.
