For Christmas, our son received a wonderful O gauge model train but unfortunately, our younger son picked up the engine and dropped it about 12 inches though on a carpet floor, the engine is not working - the wheels do not propel the engine forward.

I don't believe that the engine is beyond repair but it is beyond repair for my skill set, could you recommend a place and person who could look over the damage and repair this engine?  

Thanks so much in advance to help salvage this holiday gift.
