Model Building Tips HO Reviving Stored Engines - Congealed Lube and Cracked Gears, Oh My!
Model trains that have been stored for long periods of time can sometimes develop issues that make them run poorly.
In this episode, Dan goes through a couple examples of HO scale locomotives that have been stored for at least 5 years.
One doesn't run at all, and another is very sluggish. Fortunately most of the time the problems can be fixed with some cleaning and lubrication.
Dan shows how to tear down, clean, lubricate, and reassemble these HO scale model train locomotives.
Dan also explains how many HO scale diesels use one of two basic truck designs. He works on one example of each, so chances are any locomotive you have will be similar to one of these.
If you have or have had similar issues with your HO scale diesels, be sure to check this one out!
