It runs on track, though, the reversing mechanism is a problem. The question I have is how can I safely clean the dust off of the body? You know that nook and cranny stuff you can't just blow off with huffing and puffing:) I thought of removing body and cleaning in whatever you guys suggest. While I am cleaning the body I will be looking at the reversing unit. i would post pic but I have not figured out how to do that here , yet.

You can do the same with the tender body. Dry everything thoroughly with a hair dryer. The reversing mechanism is in the tender. It probably needs a new spring.
