I purchased this vintage big boy locomotive in an auction around a year ago and today I decided to finally take it out of the box and see if we could get it working again. I brought it over to the track to test it and it seemed to be having trouble picking up electricity.

It's possible this locomotive has been sitting for decades and many contacts have rusted over so it required disassembly and cleaning to get things going again. I'm overall impressed with the results.
