[net.railroad] Model engine maintenance question

heliotis (12/01/82)

Does anyone know if there is any upkeep that is practical to do for
electric engines?  Things that come to mind are lubrication and
brush replacement.  Or, do most people just go out and buy new
engines?

UNRELATED QUESTION:  I have seen this news group used for both
real and model railroad news.  This is fine with me, but I suspect
this was not the original intention.  Because there are always
new users, it might be a good idea for the creator of the group to
post a notice about its proper use.
