In that case, you should talk to Joe or someone else at Grzyboski's and work something out with them about the engine.

 

I know in the past, at least sometimes, when they bought an item from someone for resale, they tested it first. 

Very true.......... but in this case, this ABA set has not been placed on the track as there is no wear marks on the wheels or roller pick ups. I already purchase the needed parts to repair or replace the defective parts.  Last weekend I installed the metal gears to replace the plastic gears.  This set is no longer original so no I will just fix it and keep it.  Lionel uses plastic gears since I think 1973 or 74 on the early MPC F-3's to this day. They just changed the color of the gears from white to black, WHY ? The metal gears was used on the last F-3 #2383 of the postwar period.  I had the 2383 set back in 1968.
