Hi, I’m new here. I recently retired and my wife and I moved across the country to be close to our now 4 year old grandson. I got my boyhood trains out of the attic after 50 years and my grandson loves them. I have a Lionel Scout and B and M diesel. They run really good. But I also have a #65 Hand Car. Out of the attic it ran OK for a while. One day it was running and I turned my back to it, I turned around and it had stopped and was smoking! I haven’t done any train repairs before. I took the yellow cover off and there’s really nothing obvious to see. The rear wheels are locked up. Any ideas on what I can do to repair it or should I bring it in somewhere for repairs? Thanks. Mat
