Hello. I am fairly new to trains, and have been putting together an O gauge layout for my kids. My dad has recently offered me his American Flyer 322 S gauge set. I plan to work it into my layout. My dad had the locomotive serviced some 25 years ago, and it worked then. It was ran minimally then, and has been in storage ever since. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for getting this train going again. I would imagine its going to need some lubricating or maintenance of some sort. Also, do I need to buy smoke pellets, or smoke fluid? If so, does anyone have a good brand to recommend? Any advice would be appreciated. Remember, I'm a beginner here, so if its too complicated, I'll just take it somewhere to be serviced.
