My project for today was an act of resurrecting the dead. In this case it's a Lima CN Hustler I got from another modeler. I originally thought the motor was dead but a good bath in CRC 2-26 cleaned it up and I got it working. However it wouldn't run when placed on the tracks. Further investigating revealed a bad connection on one of the pickup strips. I corrected this little problem and it runs great now. It's four wheel pickup and four wheel drive which is a bit of an advantage over it's Athearn cousin. It runs good at slow speed and on high goes like a bat outta he!!. I just might stick a decoder in this thing and keep it for myself.
