Sure do, I have a stock 1968 Mustang and that get used a lot more than the few times this train has been out the box.  But thanks, I'll find a local hoppy shop to fix it.

I called the company, was told the engine is too old for service and there's nothing they can do for me.  Even said that it's a cheap version from the late 70's not worth fixing.  Guess I'll have to try my local hobby shop.   They were offering the warranty back them, I still have the top half of the registration card.  They basically said the warranty wouldn't apply.

The wheels are still tight but I'm thinking the gear slipped too.

Hi,  Question if train could be sent in for service.  I have item #0651, Consolidation 2-8-0 w/smoke purchased 12/27/1979 was running and now just revs.  Have the original receipt from Two Guys, warranty card must of been sent in back in 1979 because I have the top half, and I have the original paperwork that came with the engine to service it, and it's in the original box.  Can it be sent in for service and receive the same engine back?  I don't really want to be messing with a 35 year old train.  I've had this since I was 12.
