Jim,

That baby is factory fresh, of the late forties and early fifties.

Great work.

Take care,

Ralph

Jim,
Looks great. Wish you would have stuck with original Blue and Yellow C&O scheme, but other than that it looks wonderful! Thumbs Up

All,

          Thanks for the compliments on this one.  I haven't been able to get a video done yet. 

Brent,

            I started to think the same thing after I got it back together.  Oh well, that gives me a reason to buy another rough 624.Smile

So how did you remove the motor for cleaning?  I have a 624 that I just acquired and was wondering what the best way was to remove the motor so I can re-grease the gear box and clean the armature and brushes.
