still not the set I have, 7 cars in mint condition, lights not working in 3 cars.

i saw a set at a hobby shop for 350.00 new. pennsylvania

I have a set of passengers cars, 4 coaches, 1 combine, 1 diner, 1 business or observation car. steel wheels, all in great shape, the lights work in the coaches but not in the other 3. I am looking to see how old they are and what is the worth of the set. any ideas. no one in this area wants to give an exact price

I know this is an old string but thought I would add something, my EMD FA was running slow and also making a bad noise coming from somewhere. I removed the 2 screws from the bottom and the body slid right off, I checking it out closer and ran in on the track a few times to find where the noise came from. after finally determining that it was coming from the rear I used a few drops of light oil in various places. tested it again and the noise seemed to quiet some, oiled it a little more and also made sure to lubricate the shaft near the motor. not only did the noise stop but the engine ran better and just as fast as the F7B, hopefully that remedied the problem

I have the same problem - was this problem ever fixed?
