Hello all, A kindly older gentleman gave me a United Scale Models HO brass 2-8-0 Consolidation. It is in the original box but without any kind of instructions or other information. It apparently hasn't been run in something like 20 or 30 years!!! I would like some help in getting this engine up to snuff - any thoughts on repowering it(does it need repowering) or adding DCC? It is as yet unpainted, but I am considering this as well. I haven't run it yet but I will probably try it on my workbench test track this week. I have been looking around on the internet for info but haven't found much. Thanks to all in advance, Mike
