Reply to "Running locomotives to keep them in good working order"

Thanks Snkbittin and John for your input.

Would love to know how various locomotives typically do when left idle for a year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, etc.

With Postwar, my guess is they are usually fine if not run for a long time and kept in a dry and moderate temperature environment. However, as a precaution I would lubricate after not running them for over a year.

What about MTH Proto 3, Legacy, TMCC, Williams, K Line, etc.?
