Is anyone familiar with the company Industrial Rail? We have a trolley that we ran a LOT when I was small. It seems like it might have trouble making contact with the rail/might have mechanical problem internally? Not sure if anyone has this train. Thanks so much for your time.
Best,
Jeff

Yeah, I think I have a couple of their trolleys, and the one I used a lot (and still do!) had similar problems. I sent it to an excellent motor repair guy, Bob Testa -- he goes by "Marxmotorman" and specializes in Marx motors, but he has helped me with some oddball items like several in my trolley fleet. It turned out no parts were available, but he was finally able to replace the motor with a functional substitute (the trolley's the one running on the elevated track in this video). He may kill me for recommending him (he really struggled to resurrect my trolley!), but here's his YouTube site: https://www.youtube.com/@Marxmotorman Good luck, in any event!
Thanks again Steve! Appreciate it.

No problem, Jeff, hope you can get it sorted promptly, and say hi to Bob if you talk to him!
