QUOTE: Originally posted by dingoix i actually have the burned up motor and it's small-- the tender drive only ran 4 wheels- it just seems like it would derail with the motor pushing from the tender- the motor in the tender was the "power torque" which was junk
QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar A little tip-make sure you keep the drive gears in the tender greased and oiled. There's a large black plastic drive gear in there that will wear out quick if you don't. Mine just wore out and I'm really bummed out . (probably never find a replacement)
