Afternoon everyone. Boy, haven't been in here in a while. This thread has gotten big! Glad to see it's still going strong. <br /> <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Has anyone ever tried to tune up a really old HO locomotive (40+)? I just recently found my dad's old Atlas B&O FT set and would love to get it running. Apparently, it takes power from the front truck, and the motor (located at the rear of the frame) drives the rear truck. I've put some light oil on the gears, but it still won't move. The wheels look pretty dirty, but I don't know of any methods of cleaning them. Any help would be appreciated.
