Hey y'all,
I cleaned and oiled the wheels on all the old rolling stock. The searchlight car (always a favorite) was ready for action too. I opened the Alco to look-see. I added a modest amount of Lionel oil to the top of the motor where it says "OIL". Nothing. After a few days, a little more oil and still nothing. Is the motor stuck? I know how to fix a Model T Ford that's stuck but I don't think it's a good idea for my first Lionel engine. I have transformer voltage at the top of the motor. What would you do next?
