picked up a Joy Line 102 cast iron loco last week that had been sandblasted bare, with the clockwork still inside it. The shell is in the paint shop now, but the clockwork is now working after some gentle air pressure and careful winding and unwinding a few times with a Lionel 1588 key. I'll soak and re-lube the works before re-installing the painted shell. A bell is still intact but I can see no striker mechanism for it.
