How to strip down and service a Lima diesel locomotive

[@TheMemeticArchitect]

Brilliant. Just dug 20 odd of my old Lima diesels from the late ‘80s out of the loft and couldn’t have asked for a more useful video.

I also don't use a Dremel tool on the commutator plate. I use lighter fluid and cotton buds. I suggest cleaning the gaps between the metal plates with a toothpick to remove any brush residue. I also lubricate the gears and pickup axles with a spot of technical petroleum jelly. I apply a tiny drop of a mix of sewing machine oil and technical petroleum jelly on the rotor bearings. This results in the Lima G type motor running smoother and quieter.

Lima is underrated

Indeed. I have quite a few Lima models in my collection and enjoy them very much.

@@fyfieldjunction must look at your other videos - are you a lima man, i am but not a very knowledgeable one lol, the hughes crabs are great fun to get going haha.

[@fyfieldjunction]

I wouldn’t consider myself a Lima man lol but I do enjoy working on Lima models. They may be old and basic but they are indestructible

[@fyfieldjunction]

I don’t have mine anymore as I never used it but I do love working on Lima models
