Old engines are the best to learn on. If you can pick up a few from garage sales or the like and tear them apart. Once you're comfortable, you can tackle more involved projects. The real challenge is getting an old Tyco or AHM that doesn't work and get it running again! Even if it won't go down the track, but see if you can the motor and lights to work. I cut me teeth on a Tyco. It had broken gears in the trucks but eventually I got the motor to turn. Mostly cleaning and one loose wire.
