O Gauge Engines In Need Of Repair

On the Lionel (I don't have my book here) if it is a steam engine (hench the coal tender) and it was made in the 60's or older it will run with out the tender. If the trucks that are missing are the pilot and trailing trucks it will probably run without those as well. Most any major train show will have vendors who sell replacement parts for both engines.
Well, that's mainly what I'm looking for someone to do. Tear them down and do whatever is necessary to get them in good working order again. As I said, I tried to do this with one other engine and managed to permanently destroy the motor so I won't be attempting that again. I'd like to get the trucks replaced on the Lionel but first priority is getting it operational again.
