Running like a top! Tracks and wheels were clean, a drop of oil on the commutator ends and wa la.

gdelmoro ok I took my childhood Lionel engine out of storage, cleaned the wheels, pick up rollers and oiled the drivers. It runs but not good at all. Where can i find info on how ton service, maintain the loco?

Did you clean the track? Dirty track is usually the problem which causes poor preformance.
Thanks I'll check them both
Lionel shows about 750 entries on their site for steam engine manuals. I started going through them; but, hey, it ain't MY problem. Plus, I don't know exactly which loco I'm looking for.
Anyway, a person might check there.

The CTT (Classic Toy Trains) forum is probably your best bet:

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
You would likely get a lot more information on the 'Classic Toy Trains' forum.
