chris, hope you can fix yours without too much trouble! did it just wear through?

Ucwepn

yeah lost springyness so went to bend it forward and snap lol

Just fixed it like new! Have a couple of spare tenders and I replaced the whole terminal by soldering in a new one. It still seems sluggish and a bit noisy, the easy solution would be to pop in a hyper dash 3 or similar but I want to keep it completely original due to the rarity and value. I will have to give the drive unit a clean and oil and oil the motor bearings and see if it improves

sunhuntin

good luck, boss!

Ucwepn great videos on YouTube!!
I've watched your reviews for years and have always enjoyed your spirt and passionate enthusiasm for these trains..
I appreciate all your videos and the time and attention to detail🙂
Your knowledge seems to only be superseded by the care and thoughtful delivery of your presentations..
It's an honor to actually rub elbows with you!!🙂
