Servicing a Vintage Fleischmann HO locomotive

This is a Video on how to service Vintage Fleischmann HO locomotives with Ringfield (Pancake) motors. The Locomotive used for demonstration was a Fleischmann 4700 F-Unit . These were manufactured between 1960-1973. I hope you find this video useful. The locomotive was given to my Dad by his brother. It has been in our family for almost 50 years, out of which for the past 30+ years, it was stored away in a box. deutsche modellbahn
