Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running good, but the motor is really noisy, when the voltage is increased. This is not a fast loco, and so is meant to be run slowly. Could use an oiling, as I suspect there is none. Does not have split gears etc, as these are metal. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.
