Thank you for the link to the you tube video on lubricating engines. It was very helpful.

The configuration is 4-8-4 and the crazy thing is I know better! Did I mention that I am mathematically challenged? While entering my question I glanced down at the painting on the box and I only saw 6 drivers because the front pair are mostly hidden by the cylinders.

HO / older Bachmann 4-8-4 J class

I have a Bachmann Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 J class locomotive that I bought circa 1982. It has been in storage for the past 13 years in its original box. I cannot get the motor to turn when I apply current. I took the motor apart and cleaned it and was careful to put the brushes back in the proper places, but still no action from the motor. Is a replacement motor still available? The part number on my owner's sheet is 3240. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
