I've bought some very expensive brass engines, old car kits, and some OPP building kits on eBay and have been pleased with all but one. With a description "...pulling hooks...mint condition...Lindberg..." I'd know that I'm buying from someone who is not a modeler. Lingberg was good in its time buit that was 45 years ago. A lot has changed in that time span. Other then to say "I did it." I wouldn't invest to much time in these models because the current stuff is so much better. Alcohol, applied with the Q tip will also clean the armature and make the engine run better. I'd take the engine out, clean it good, lube it sparingly, and then let it run for about an hour and see how hot it gets. Run it both directions for about 15 minutes each time. Bob
