341 mile loco post-mortem

[Super]

That was interesting and educational, for me. For the life of me I have never thought of taking apart a Plarail motor for maintenance even though I have dozens that don't work. I will have to do that when I get the urge or find a train that is having trouble. Curious as to why this fellow just didn't start running the test right out of the box before dousing it with oil. Plus another interesting test would be to run it until it dies but that may take weeks or more LOL
