I'm a postwar Lionel guy so I'm not sure if I should be doing anything to this other than oiling the wheels since its been sitting for so long. It has never been run! This and a few other engines will be run for the first time soon! I happy to hear all the good reviews!
If it's around 20 years, I'm guessing it's the older ProtoSound 1 model or the early ProtoSound 2 one. If so, CERTAINLY replace the rechargeable battery before you apply any power to the locomotive!
