Alright. Closed the deal. Paid a good bit but it is NOS and I wanted the 611 as oppossed to the 606 for instance for petty reasons entirely.

Can't wait.

If it’s truly NOS, that means it’s been sitting for god knows how long,…..the locomotive might be bulletproof, but the lubricants are not……I would recommend popping the shell off and lube and inspect EVERYTHING that moves!!…pull the gear box cover off and inspect the condition of the grease,….chances are you’re good, but better safe than sorry,….put a healthy drop of motor oil on the worm shaft bearings, and the motor shaft bearings …..pull axle grease plugs, and lubricate, ……I like a shot of oil, followed by a small squirt of grease …..if you paid a good bit for it, then take an hour and protect your investment……..
