Sorry Motti, but judging from the picture aboave it looks like Percy is a goner.
The T'nA models are the most particular, finicky, fragile, high maintenance trains EVER!
I tried my hand at repairing only a couple, before I realized that I hadn't the tools, skill, or understanding of their complexities, to fix them.
It was only Ripley who was up for the challenge to take it upon himself to master the knowledge of thier interworkings to become The Amazing Ripley that he is..
Your Percy is in the worst disrepair that I have ever seen, and generally one found in its current condition would be considered scrap and used for parts. I honestly doubt that the time and effort that it would take to completely rebuild it with labor and shipping would cost more than it would cost to simply replace it at this point.
Sometimes though Motti some of life's greatest lessons are best learned at a young age.
Luckily it was only a $50 train, and that from this experience, that someday when you're older, you'll never decide to try and fix your own car and take it upon yourself to dismantle it's engine.
