There is no doubt it is pleasurable to drive a smooth running locomotive. I have been frustrated with the performance of my Traino 930’s. As it happened I can across a YouTubd video by one of my favourite modellers who goes by the handle Boomer Diorama on getting smooth running locomotives. Inspired I set about Alco 948 .Boomers advice was ‘it’s all in clean gear towers.”
Stripping Traino 930’s is not for the faint of heart, particularly the bogies. Oh well onward snd upward. I stripped the gear towers down, cleaned the caked grease off with IPA anc now have s beautifully running 948,
