It runs

2020-08-18 02:55:03 UTC  

It just takes awhile

2020-08-18 02:55:32 UTC  

Most of my trains run except for two...

2020-08-18 02:56:45 UTC  

The 1948 Lionel Santa Fe F-3 diesel my grandpa had as a kid still needs work...

2020-08-18 02:58:45 UTC  

And then there’s the Hornby 0 gauge train I had imported from England hoping to convert it from windup to electric because of it’s broken spring and worn out gears.

2020-08-18 02:59:04 UTC  

Can i see

2020-08-18 02:59:16 UTC  

I could try.

2020-08-18 02:59:44 UTC  

Also my great aunt has a Christmas lionel train

2020-08-18 03:00:01 UTC  

Almost broke it

2020-08-18 03:00:11 UTC  

When i was younger

2020-08-18 03:00:39 UTC  

I turned up the speed and it went flying of the rails at a corner

2020-08-18 03:01:04 UTC  

Luckily it still runs

2020-08-18 03:01:26 UTC  

Here’s the 1948... My grandpa who owned this passed away and I’m resorting it in honor of him.

2020-08-18 03:02:03 UTC  

The horn, E-unit, and second motor are out.

2020-08-18 03:02:12 UTC  

I have that one

2020-08-18 03:02:25 UTC  

Aww

2020-08-18 03:02:28 UTC  

Its smaller

2020-08-18 03:02:32 UTC  

And same actually

2020-08-18 03:02:40 UTC  

The light and first motor still work.

2020-08-18 03:03:30 UTC  

The electro coupler needs rewiring.

2020-08-18 03:04:21 UTC  

What about the other train

2020-08-18 03:05:07 UTC  

This is the Hornby the day I got it.

2020-08-18 03:05:25 UTC  

That is cool

2020-08-18 03:05:36 UTC  

Thanks.

2020-08-18 03:05:41 UTC  

I just looked it up

2020-08-18 03:05:51 UTC  

Its a crank up toy

2020-08-18 03:06:22 UTC  

I’m converting it to electric.

2020-08-18 03:07:23 UTC  

It would be cool if it was still original

2020-08-18 03:08:06 UTC  

This is how it pretty much looks now...

2020-08-18 03:08:33 UTC  

Do you know how to put it back together

2020-08-18 03:08:48 UTC  

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

2020-08-18 03:09:04 UTC  

Yeah, it’s almost there...

2020-08-18 03:09:10 UTC  

Ok

2020-08-18 03:09:49 UTC  

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

2020-08-18 03:10:15 UTC  

One question

2020-08-18 03:10:24 UTC  

Okay, shoot.

2020-08-18 03:10:26 UTC  

How old are you

2020-08-18 03:10:33 UTC

2020-08-18 03:10:43 UTC  

Oh

2020-08-18 03:10:48 UTC

2020-08-18 03:11:20 UTC
