UPS came today!! Got my Black Lettered #60 Trolley!!

Well, first I put it on the layout. It ran a bit sluggish. So I cleaned the brushes and commutator sections and lubed and oiled the gear shaft. Now, it runs great!! How fast is the trolley supposed to go?? Not as fast as a gang car? The light inside works just fine. Now, the roof…is it supposed to be loose?? Or is it somehow attached on to the trolley? Other than that all is good. It reverses just fine and the antenna swings around like it is supposed to. My trolley maybe goes about 6 inches per second about. Its not as fast as my gang car. But, doesnt it have the same motor and mechanics as a gang car?? Thanks.

lionel2,

The 60 trolley is slower than the 50 gang car because the gear ratio is different. The roof should snap onto the body.

Thanks, I will check it out how it snaps onto the body. Thanks.
