I bought a K-Line Fisherman on Trestle at the Mebane, NC Train Show yesterday. The water pump works fine but the motor that makes the fisherman rock back doesn't work at all. It doesn't even hum. Has anyone ever repaired one of these? How did you fix it? If it needs a new part then who sells K-Line parts?

The trestle that he sits on has 4 screws; one in each top corner. I plan to remove them and look inside the trestle but I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I mess up the linkage that connects to the mans backside. I paid $38.50 for it and would like to fix it.

I fixed it!

I took the black plastic motor housing off of the motor, removed the large gear, greased all the gears, oiled the rear motor bearing and manually turned the armature. Then I plugged it in and the motor turned so I put it back into its housing. Turned it on and all the gears turn, so I don't really know what the final solution was but it works.

I'm proud of me!

Roger, hope this helps you to fix yours.
