Thanks Mike for providing such a clear, easy to follow, and entertaining guide to servicing Lima locos. I was surprised at the amount of flash left on the gears, etc, no doubt as a result of the manufacturing process. Thanks to your guide, I know what to look out for when taking the motor/gears apart. Look forward to your next film. Regards, Paul

@trainlover658 Hi, can't vouch for that but will be trying in on my ones soon, I would imagine the same imperfections on the gears will be present and thus removing them should produce the same results?
A really useful and well presented guide.
