I have begun the task of re-wiring! I also will be cleaning parts, but not repainting them, in order to keep the original finish. I was thinking of putting a coat of wax on the body to give it a little shine...
I also need to find new (or good used) wheels, anyone have any suggestions on where to look?
One last question for tonight, the locomotive appears to have suffered a minor drop that has caused the shell to come apart at the corner of the "hood". This was originally a soldered joint. Is it possible to re-solder the joint without ruining the paint? Or do I need to come up with a different method to fix this? Gonna go take a quick pic to show what I'm talking about...
