Well, let's see if this works.

I haven't been able to upload pictures yet. As soon as I figure it out, i'll do so.

I got it, and that's what I did. After opening it up I found that the gears aren't in a closed case like I thought, so I put a 'temporary' lube on them (until I get the right stuff) and ran it. It was pretty sparky at first, but after some running time back and forth, it settled down and ran...

It took me a while to think about it, but that was my concern. The motor. If rust had developed, and if there is something I could do before running it and causing any damage. Maybe i'll just give it a go. Damn the Torpedos!! Thanks

Ok, Thanks. I probably would have put it right on the track without being sure first.

I have a question. I'm getting a Bicentennial train (N&W U36B #1776 or so it appears) that has been sitting on a shelf since it was bought. Will I damage it by running it as soon as I get it, or do I need to take it apart first?
