Try using some LaBelle plastic compatible oil on the motor bushings...sounds like they may be dry..be very very sparing with it though. Also put some Labelle plastic compatible grease on the gears in the trucks...they may be dry too. Be sure that the motor is not touching the sides of the body shell...that tends to amplify any vibrations. Lastly if this loco's drive train uses those tiny little ball and socket universal joints between the motor and the trucks check to see if they are aligned correctly or there is any plastic "flash" in the sockets are on the balls. If so clean them up with a sharp X-Acto knife. Hope this helps....Vic <br />
