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

After a lifetime of collecting, over 60 years in my case, it  takes a long time to run everything, even only twice per year.

And, I have train buddies that have 10 times more trains than I do.  For them, running everything would be a monumental task.

For me to run everything modern is manageable.  My goal is to run my modern equipment 4 times per year.

I have a lot of Postwar locomotives and accessories. I think I will only run my Postwar accessories on the layout and all my Postwar engines at least once per year, maybe twice per year, at most.

What about Postwar accessories in storage, not on the layout and not hooked up? In my case, that would take a long time. I'm not sure what I'm going to do regarding hooking them up and periodically running them. Maybe it's best to sell them.

For those of you who are, or are planning to, periodically run your equipment, I'm very interested in your thoughts about this. Arnold
