Lionel Turbine 671 Repair part 1

[@dagryffynhobby]

Nice. I love that it has the horizontal e unit instead of the lever sticking through the top. I’m going to need to get one like that.
You did give me an idea for a project though, I need to service my 681 and I wonder if I can mount the e unit like this one. Obviously I wouldn’t be able to get to the lever but I’m ok with that.

Thanks for watching. I learned some things on that one. To make the E-Unit function or not function, it's just a matter of grounding one wire. Is there a place to put a jumper or switch?

[@dagryffynhobby]

@@dbtech7914 probably could add a switch but I don’t know that I’d use it.

​@@dagryffynhobbyI see you got one. I bought one last year. Finally getting too looking at it to get it fixed up.

I mark the top of the bearings with sharpie to get them back in oriented correctly. I also use the red n tacky grease, love that smell. Have fun running that turbine.

Thanks for watching. It is a fun engine to run. I learned a little bit while working on it.

All you have to do is buy a plastic bottle with a smaller applicator! Then, putting on to much oil fixed? 😊

[@dbtech7914]

I have one somewhere. The extra oil runs off when I run the train.

Way too much grease !

[@dbtech7914]

Apparently it was. I wanted to make sure I got it in there. I had to wipe off the excess.
