LGB 2-4-0

Hey all
I want to do a german video about LGBs american 2-4-0-0 / 0-4-0 locos 20/21/22/23232 and the sets, which were availible mostly or exclusive in us.
I found in LGB news that this locos/sets were announced for 2000 than again in 2001. You find the first german announcement in the news 2002. Zanetti for example said 2002 too, so did the LGB Kompendium. Anyone know the year this sets were availible in us ?

I know some german reports that LGB announces a few models at the beginning of 200x but had many problems to produce them so that the costumers wait a long time before getting their articles.

Does anyone know if the motor is already isolated? I want to hookup a decoder but can't access the back half of the motor to double check.

You do not need to access the motor if there are 4 wires coming out of the block to the circuit board, then the motor is separately fed. 2 of those wires go to the motor the other 2 to the pickups. I will not quote the wire colours as they can be different if someone has been messing with the chassis, some are all black. With the loco off the track unplug the wires (use a felt pen to mark so that you could put back as taken out) , check with an electrical test meter for continuity. Two will show continuity two will not, those two you should be able to touch them and the wheels on one side for each if the wheels, this will tell you which are the motor wires.

If there are 3 wires the chassis needs a complete rebuild electrically as the motor will be on common with one side of the wheels.
