I met a pal a few days ago and he had had a clear out and gave me some elderly Tri-ang locos and Multiple Units which were non runners. Most were in various states of dis-assembly.
So, always up for a challenge, they were all stripped down, the felt pads lubricated and reassembled roughly just to see if any worked.
And would you believe it they all work! Not bad for 60 odd years old. I wonder if my modern Bachmann, Heljan, Dapol and Hornby locos will still work in 2060? Well I won't be around to find out but I may be advised posthumously! The other thing is that they don't run well, if at all on code 75 track!
