Postwar Lionel Model Trains
Why has my Lionel train stopped working?
I have a Postwar 685 ATSF Hudson steam Model Train (its not a really a steam engine, its just called that- it has an electric motor) which stopped working. Whenever I put it on the tracks and tried it out, sparks would come from the motor and there'd be a buzzing noise. The motor doesn't rotate. The track is clean, and I cleaned the motor nicely with alcohol. What could be wrong?
the polarity might be reversed or might not be right.
