Reading Lines RDC Refurbish and Running Again

This is my thrid Reading Company/Reading Lines Rail Diesel Car.
I picked it up for $20, which I am not a fan of paying so much for a non-running RDC but this is a Reading Lines RDC, which are difficult to come across.
I had to clean the motor commutator, and motor brushes.
The 1/2 motor mounts were in very bad condition so they needed to be replaced. I picked up a couple packs of them since I have a holf dozen RDC's that still need to be repaired or refurbished.
