Classic, well-built train! I agree with LS1Heli that some lubrication is needed; at least oil for the bearings & grease for the gears. 1NASADude, maybe you have a room that would work for a " shelf " layout?
i have a 1946 turbine set #2020 on the engine with the smoke bulb but mine didne come with a lighted caboose is your a 2020 or a 671 looks to be in nice shape i also have a 1950 681 turbine pullman passenger set that set is a real smoker
id be caureful...I got my first at 3 and almost broke it from treating it like a toy...make sure he dosent put it past a certain limit...like tape something on there so he cant make the thing go so fast it flies in the air ...also watch him most of the time or he might get shocked like I did once!
4 sure that needs to be serviced. If you plan on having his grand kids running it, please take it to a reputable service center to have maintenance performed.

what do u mean serviced?
golfisgreat123 2 years ago
Disassembled, cleaned, oiled, greased along with commutator polishing, new brushes and new brush springs.
All '46 models sound coarse because of the horizontal motor and double worm drive, but it should be quieter than in this video.

Nice clip great movie. I think that engine needs a lube though, it sounds dry.

do you have a real layout?

No, we just set them up every now and then. Not enough room at our home for a heavy duty layout.
