Engine compatibility

Ed,

Lightly lube the B-unit, run by itself for a bit. It MAY come around. No guarantees. It may just be a bit corroded and "stiff" from years of non-use. It is well known and has been noted on these boards that HO engines do not age well when not used.

Keep a regular maintenance schedule. I clean my engines about every two weeks and lube as needed. No real rule of thumb that I know of.
