Ever since this channel was founded in 2016 the goal has been to restore my grandmothers 1951 Rivarossi Hiawatha steam locomotive.
Over the past eight or so years this project has mostly been successful however I could never call it a complete restoration as a broken bearing cap prevented me from reinstalling the drivers.
I recently placed a large order to a part dealer in Italy to replace the wheel sets and many other spare parts to completely overhaul this model.
I also tried a new technique for replacing brushes on this model which I found on @DarthSantaFe 's channel. [ Ссылка ]=
