I am into steam only, but a friend had all the problems I read about here. The Pearl Drops treatment really did work on the Ernst gears. My friend disassembled his unit one final time, cleaned the gear lubricant from the gearbox, gears and bearings. He then applied powdered graphite as a lubricant. Talk about smooth running, and dead quiet as well. I am impressed, but not enough to change my layout to a later time period so I can run diesels. All locomotives seem to benefit from an upgrade to better quality motors. <br /> <br />Tom
