A little update.

Salty, Duck, and the 8000 Series are all repaired and seem to be working fine now.

TnA Henry is looking good as well. Here are a couple shots of the repairs needed.
- New speaker needed
- New axel gear
- New tires

Gordon was next on my list.
- New tires
- New axel gear
Edit***
- Also a new speaker

Gordon is back together and seems to work most of the time. I say this because he is like many of the others I have seen and worked on. Sometimes he will go around and be fine making all stops in the track or all actions, etc... other times he drives right over them. This I believe is due to the orange wires which control the activation mechanism which get in a bind. I am going to re-look at this again and see if I can find a solution. Also like others, he seems slow. In the past I have replaced the motor or even components on the circuit board but it still does not seem to help. Again, I am going to re-look at this to see if there is something more to be done.
