The nice thing about these old locos is that 90% the time the answer to "what's wrong with it?" Is simply that it's dirty and dry. Very rarely is there anything out of sorts that a mildly handy kid couldn't figure out and fix him/herself.

That runs surprisingly smoothly now!Quite often the magnets in these motors are a fraction of their original power. There were remagnetizing machines, but neodymium replacements provide a simpler remedy.
