In 2023 I was on vacation in Maine and on a rainy day we visited an antique store in Arundel. I ended up finding this vintage Lionel GG1 in untested order. I purchased the locomotive and brought it home only to discover that it didn't run.
I figured this was likely from it sitting in storage for many years if not decades and that if the drive could be un-seized it would run again. In this video I try to disassemble the model and do just that.
