I was given a second athearn big boy. It has the older mrc but it meed some work. It's missing a hex bolt. And some bearings. My initial idea was to have it as a parts engine for the 4014 I am doing. I am on the fence. I lived in Cheyenne as a kid and would always go see 4004. So now I am thinking of makeing her 4004 and have both.
@joenewstead4848 That's a great idea! No matter how bad the condition is they can always be used for something, weather it's for parts or static display.
The part you were pointing to with your tweezers is called a mechanical lubricator
@willknipe9491 Yes thank you I can never remember the names of the components when I'm doing a video lol
