For those of you who are not familiar with how Dorfan electric cabs were put together, here is a short video as I went through cleaning and repairing a early #51.
This one was rather easy, a solid casting to start with. It should have a dummy light in the rear and a working light in the front. I'll get to those soon.

An interesting design. Great job in getting it back on the tracks! Neat to see it running!
great work, Steve. 90 years old and still running like a top.
Great job. The proof of the pudding, and all that. What a nice collection you have and a nice layout, to boot!
Very cool. Now I know how they work.
awesome job Steve, really enjoy your trains!
A real museum piece considering most crumbled to bits. Great job getting this example up and running.

The repro headlights arrived yesterday. They are the only repro parts on this engine. I can now park it in the complete category.

How can I see the aforementioned video in the posts above? Is it in a library somewhere? I have paid to become a member but it still says I have no access to any videos.
Jeff, I don't think that has anything to do with it. I don't see a video either. This post was from 5 years ago!
I have edited the initial post to add the Youtube ling back in.

Thanks Steve for showing the Dorfan engine . Have never saw what the inside looks like on one and thanks to you now have.
Really like your layout and the many tin pieces on it. Your Marx twin chrome lamp post is gorgeous.
Thanks Steve. I have several Dorfan Locomotives I am working on.
