My Postwar 2026 Locomotive that I bought from an estate sale. It would hardly run.  I disassembled it cleaned out all of the dried up grease, dirt, hair, and lint. Removed the brushes from the motor sprayed contact cleaner over all of the contacts, gears and axles. Cleaned the gunk off the brushes so they now make proper contact instead of being stuck in the holder. Brushed away all the grime that was left. Polished the armature, lubed the shafts, gears and axles reassembled the motor , Washed the die cast body inside and out then dried it and reassembled it. It runs like a champ! It pulls all my post war rolling stock with ease. I actual feel like I accomplished something!

Total victory is yours, Noah! Congratulations!
