I am helping my mom get organized and list some things so that she can make some repairs to her home. This thing still runs in forward and reverse and even still smokes. I don’t want to damage it so I just jiggled it until it went around one way in each direction. Very cool old train and the smoke smell reminded me of playing with these as a child. Thanks for watching my videos and like and subscribe if you can it really helps us out! Thanks. 🙏🏻
