engines out of storage

[rutlandville]

My wife bought several n scale engines from a friend that had them in storage several years. It would appear from the price tags that many of them were purchased in the around 1970-80's. are there any precautions I should take before they run? Winter is coming and I'm looking forward to running the iron horses. Thanks for any advise.

Just be mindful that they're going to be a bit stiff in the joints. A good clean and lube should be all that they'd need though.:thumbsup:
