Hey guys, I've got another question about the Lionel 2037. I bought this from Ebay and I received it and gave it a good cleaning and some lubrication. On the first test it ran around the track nicely for a few minutes and then it stopped and wouldn't move forward or backwards. I wiggled with the switch on top back and forth and it started to run again. After another 5 or 6 loops around the track it stopped running again.
I took off the shell and hard wired it for testing and it made a buzzing sound, but the wheels would not turn. I played around with it for a few more minutes and then nothing was happening at all (not even the buzzing sound). Did I short out the motor? What should my next step be to try and fix the problem? Any suggestions as to where I can find a wiring diagram?
I took a few pictures of the motor after I took it apart. I doubt that helps. Thanks in advance for all of your great advice.
