Run my own RR but have a display case for the prototypes
Loved the Southern greens
Based on how good the Bachmann's Spectrum Consolidation performed I bought a Light Mountain in Southern's green
It has been in my display case for over 10 years
I bought their heavy Mountain undecorated and run it on my RR in my mark--performs great
I recently tried running the Light Mountain ( Never ran it before)
It is very noisy especially at slow speeds--sounds almost like a grinding noise
I think I remember reading that they had some problems with the Light Mountains
Anybody have any info
not an expert but it may need to be oiled n greased
The drive belt may of taken a set.
It may need cleaning, and very very light lubrication of the bearings and gears.
After cleaning, and very light lubrication with plastic compatible oil and grease, such as Bachmann's products, run the model for an extended period at slow to medium speeds, in both directions - this will take care of any set in the drive belt.
Thanks
I'll give that a try
