Last year I purchased this Sakai (Japan) EB5783 loco. It is a three-rail electric boxcab in a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement. When it arrived the reverser would only chatter but the engine would not move. This morning I removed the motor from the shell, cleaned up the brush boxes and re-soldered a loose wire, and now it runs great. It will however need some new brushes at some point; and interestingly they are rectangular instead of circular as on most of my engines.
Hello John,
this is a great train. Has the Sakai loco a matching coupler for the Bing tank car or is it changed?
And the model behind the locos, ist that a coal elevator?

Hi Arne,

The next time you make one of your hand-made tinplate beauties, any chance that you can record it and share your process from start to finish?
