Hi,
I just took out some of my z gauge collection that has been stored for over 15 years. My engine lights go on but the engines won't move.
Any recommendation in servicing them?

I would suggest having a look at http://www.zscale.org/articles/revival.html and http://www.guidetozscale...omotive_maintenance.html
They will help you diagnose what is going on, what to do about it and how (I suspect that you will need to give the mechanisms a good clean).

Those links are a good start but not very detailed. Searching your model number / loc type on youtube gives you some vids of the actual repairing/cleaning. With a bit of luck it is in HD and very clear.
