Atherns are well made but sometimes burrs on wheels and/or gears will cause excess noise. Use a magnifier to carefully inspect the parts and reassemble them while moving the parts to find the minute hitch in the getalong that will be a noise at speed. I lapped one gear set with toothpaste and it runs at half the current.

I'm not an athearn owner but perhaps this will help.

Hi there

I find that my Atheran GP-9 makes a grinding sound when it goes into a turn,what makes this sound, the curve is a 18 degree radius curve.

Thanks
