I went through all of th trains and made a jeep and a sell pile. The keep pile as pretty small, things like, Murdoch, HIRO, Lady, and some others. I am hoping to get the other listed soon.
That said I ran into an odd issue or so I thought. Almost all of the "c" style battery trains, like D10, Diesel, Bert, Mavis, etc.. Did not work. I took the motor off the chassis, and still nothing. I was checking all of the trains the other day so I set these aside and was thinking maybe of making customs or repairing. Well I kept thinking about it and had another look this evening. These style motors do not have the motor soldered to the metal + and - pins/wires. Very odd because it makes for a bad connection or not one at all of it gets moved. An easy fix though, simply pop off the top plastic piece which is covering the two sides of the motor terminals. A tiny bit of solder and it was all good for me. Now these can go up for sale too.
