QUOTE: Originally posted by spankybird HI kbruce, Welcome to the CTT forum By and chance, do you have your layout on the floor [?] I ask this because it sound like you may have some dirt or carpet fibers in the engine gearing. Try turning the engine over and checking the gears on the trucks. Maybe remove the shell and again check around the gears in the trucks. Lets start here and then if you still have problems we can look at other things. tom
QUOTE: Originally posted by ChiefEagles Think Tom may have hit it. If you are comfortable with taking the engine apart, you may have to remove the shell, turn it over and remove the screw in the bottom of the truck that has the gears jammed with lint/dirt. After removing motor, you will be able to get the obstruction out. If you are not comfortable with this, take it to a train repair person.
