Aww

Its smaller

And same actually

The light and first motor still work.

The electro coupler needs rewiring.

What about the other train

This is the Hornby the day I got it.

That is cool

Thanks.

I just looked it up

Its a crank up toy

I’m converting it to electric.

It would be cool if it was still original

This is how it pretty much looks now...

Do you know how to put it back together

The spring was completely gone and the gears were worn out.

Yeah, it’s almost there...

Ok

The new gearing with the electric motor is pretty hard but the wiring is all sorted out.

One question

Okay, shoot.

How old are you

22...?

Oh

Im 14

Any classes you took to do stuff like that @Plague Doctor Lawrence

I kinda want to do stuff like that

The pickups were made from bits of the broken spring with cardboard to insulate them from the frame and hard wire to act as springs to keep them on the middle rail.

@um I’m taking some electronics classes online, but I’ve been kinda self taught since I was your age.

Cool

If you want help with it I’m here.

Have you ever tryed to fix something but instead make it worse

Oh yeah... I’ve done that...

Well you learn from experience

Yep.

Thats what i say

You can see I trimmed the frame for a bigger motor but the bigger motor wasn’t any good so I opted for a smaller one with reduction gearing.

I cant actually tell

Really?

Okay, that’s cool.

I do see the thing the touches the tracks some the train can move
