I have heard of problems with cracked/split gears on some Protos - not experienced this one myself but it would be a good place to start - you'll need to take the wheelsets out and check them for any cracks between the teeth on the gears. I recall hearing somewhere that Lifelike will often replace cracked gears free of charge if you contact them. I have managed to repair split gears on older models for which spares are no longer available using CA glue, a pair of flatnose pliers, and considerable care, though I'd advise you try to obtain new parts rather than repairing the originals. Hope this is of help!
