Mechanical restoration including disassembly, cleaning/polishing all parts, testing the motor components, soldering in all new wiring, reassembly and testing of the motor and reversing switch, and installing all parts back onto the locomotive. I am not a model train enthusiast or collector, just an incurable tinkerer and lover of quality mechanical things, especially antique clocks and vintage sewing machines. This is my first train project and it came out well. Actually, my second, as I also restored the 1947 Lionel Type V transformer that will power this train, though I did not record any video of the transformer project.
