Kenny , I greatly enjoyed reading your inspirational Post.

I totally respect and admire those of us  who have the mechanical ability, knowledge and skills to "bring trains back from the dead," as Kenny said.  A hobbyist that can do that save a lot of money; make money by buying something cheap, fixing it, and selling it at a profit; and make more money fixing trains for those, like me, whose mechanical ability is very limited, or fixing trains for those who do not have the time or desire to fix their own trains.

I love the idea of turning lemons into lemonade regarding trains and all aspects of life.

I surf ebay quite a bit. Most of the postwar steam and diesel, engines I've purchased were commonly listed as, haven't been run in yrs, runs but moves sluggish, or makes a screeching noise when it runs, whistle doesn't whistle but makes a clicking or humming noise. If the price is right I'll purchase it.  Almost always they need a little cleaning, greasing, oiling, rewiring and they run like they are new. Yes, it feels good bringing these little pieces of machinery back to life.
