I have brass steam locomotives from the 1970s that ran right away. Others from the same time needed a lot of work. With the early South Korea built locomotives it got even worse. As Mark said try very slow speeds (crawling). The speed in the video might cover slight hesitations. Overland diesel locomotives are similar. Those with the two gear towers over the trucks are usually good runner. The earlier ones with the tank drive can be tricky. It can be really "fun" to remove resinified grease from the gears. The two videos don't change my judgement about brass locomotives in any way. Regards, Volker
