Anyone Know a Good Servicing Book for Modern O Scale Locomotives?

So if no one knows of any good servicing guides for the modern locos can you tell me how you learned how to service them?

I spend a lot of time looking at videos and reading as many online articles and posts as I can find, but I really want to learn more.

Thanks,

John

On The Job training  and 50+ years of electronics as a profession.   Lionel and MTH used to have training for techs, but that's been gone for years.

I have a work bench and, when an issue develops, lift then hood to see if there is a simple answer.  Sometimes there is, such as a lose wire. However, I have a dependable repair person and hand-deliver the item to them. After it is repaired, I ask what did you do. Repair people are almost always happy to discuss their work. I document it, as I have a written system for following the issues in my trains. However, there is  no manual. You have to learn through your own experience and the experience of others, such as on  our forum.  Mark

Might be too late for you to get the 50 years in electronics in.
