Howdy Georgia boy! Great maintenance video even though I'm watching 6 years later. Very good explanation as you went along. I use the Labelle 106 grease for models. As I've heard from other modelers, grease for the gears and oil for the bearings/bushings. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN
@@EagleValleyModelRailroad ok thanks its one of the red & silver Santa fe's # 3500. Great body nothing broke at all, i did take it apart to check it worked little better
I Have a Life Like Power Loc F Unit Santa FE Warbonnet it doesn't Run any more and the Part that Holds the Wheels poped Off My Question Is do I Need To Replace the Part that Holds the Wheels or do the Wires need to be ReSolder
I am Also Trying to get Run Again cuase I am making a Comeback to the Ho Scale Train Hobby I would Appreciate it for the Reply cuase I need tips so I can take it to a Shop to fix it
Its tough to find a good brick and mortar hobby shop now days, the majority are online only. I try to repair and or replace as much as I feel is within my capabilities before reaching out for help. I've had success finding good guys to work on my stuff at some of the model railroad shows I attend. Good luck on your comeback, keep us posted. Thanks for watching-Ed
Its beat up pretty bad, I'm not running nor do I see myself running DC in the future. I actually have a few things I might be willing to part with. Shoot me an e-mail and we can go from there. EVMR@yahoo.com. Thanks for watching.-Ed.

I just bought an old Life Like set. This is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! The engine that wouldn't run now runs wonderfully! THANKS!
Glad the video helped, Happy Modeling.. Thanks for watching-Ed
Thanks for posting this. I've got a couple of LifeLike Diesels that I want to cleanup and this is just what I needed to know.
Hope it helps.. Ed
My old train is running again thanks to you this video thank you ed.
Thanks for watching Steven, glad it was some help. Ed
Excellent information. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, hope it helps. Thanks for watching - Ed
Nice how-to Ed! Thanks for posting. - Brian
Thanks.
this will werk for me coming back in 2021 after no activity since 89 TY VM
Walthers stopped making these cheap life like engines. They now make mainline series locomotives. Which are more reliably and are able to pull more
Keep us posted on your progress Don, Thanks for watching-Ed
This is a great video Ed!!!!! Yea buddy i want to see these locos in action! KUTGW!
Great video. Got one similar that runs but not great. Gonna clean her up ! :D
Not much to them, so unless something major is wrong all it takes is a little clean up. Thanks for watching.-Ed
