In response to Cacole. Yes they are Chinese made and they make some lovely stuff over there, but not this time. I have now had the shell off, sod of a job as very tight fit. Anyway, I have given it a touch of Labell grease and given it a run. This has made no difference to the noise factor. As for RMax1. Glad to hear you are happy with your unit. Having a close look at the mechanism I think it needs some work done on it. The truck (short hood end) has a wobble when viewed from one side as it is running on the layout. I am going to strip the thing completely and see what I can tweak out of it. If all else fails, I will run it on DC were it performs quietly and smoothly. It is a nice looking engine and runs smoothly, albeit noisily. As it stands, the noise factor must be a result of the decoder, in that the Khz signal is too low and therefore audible to the human ear. <br />Thanks for your input guy's. <br />David
