After putting new brushes and cleaning the armature of a Lionel 246, I still couldn't get it to run. Searched the archives and found a post that you fellows participated in that gave a link to Olsens Toy Train site and found a schematic that showed where I had the brush holders out of phase. The old gal runs good now! Thanks, again.

You're welcome. Glad to hear another old train is back in action.

I remember that post.... I sure did learn alot about Scout engines. GOOD LUCK with yours!

Oh, mine is still running too. I don't use it all the time, but it is moving right along.
