I bought my three truck shay at a reliable discount hobby and it wasn't running for a year but then I tried it last Christmas on the track around the tree but It started running, got any ideas on what happened

Maybe it way on vacation.  I just wanter if it might have been a loose connection.

I highly dought it because I checked all connections on it and the table but all the lights would come on but the motor didn't turn on or buzz

Maybe it was a Christmas miracle.

Oil in the motor evaporated.
