An easy guide to care and maintenance

This Special is designed to help newcomers and established G-scalers alike who perhaps have not yet the courage to remove a locomotive body and examine what's underneath. This book will enable modellers to better understand how to take care of our electrically powered steeds. Keen motorists pore over the factory workshop manual or, failing that, their Haynes Manual for maintenance information. Here the author tells the reader how to approach essential tasks, such as lubrication and maintenance, with confidence.

In many instances, in addition to timely attention with oil and grease, the author has covered periodic cleaning and replacement of sprung pickups and brushes, fitting new lamp bulbs, tracing and repairing simple faults, or maybe diagnosing and replacing that thankfully rare

animal: a defective motor. There's also some very useful fault-finding information allied to the intelligent use of voltmeters and ammeters, because these instruments can be real friends when we are in need of that little extra bit of help.

This is the second in the GardenRail Specials series.
