Thank you, there is only one way to learn how to do it.  Gotta try someday.  I am not paying $$$ to get brushes installed in my locomotives from a Hobby Shop.  Thanks.

Standard Gauge Repair Help!!
Posted by lionel2 on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 7:19 PM

I have a 10E, 33 and 384E that need the brushes replaced on the motors.  How do you change brushes and springs on these standard gauge locomotives??  I am good with postwar trains, but I am learning with standard gauge.  Anyone know a website or know off hand or from experience how to change brushes and springs on these locomotives?  I have all the tools I would need, but I am afraid to take it apart, because they are 80+ years old.  Thanks.
