Hi All
I can't find anything in the searches regarding but I know it has been discussed
I recently fired up DMIR #508 and found it to run erratically.
I held the engine in place and the belt started slipping on the pulley
I suspect excessive vertical play in the worm shaft but to inspect this I have to remove the boiler
can anyone help me with this task
Thanks
Lou
the plastic gears inside have seen their last days. They have likely eaten away due to use, mine did this as well. Theres a screw through the hole in the front pilot and two screws beneath the rear pilot. This ought to open right up after that. I still near replacement gears for my loco I'm surprised the parts department cannot just ship them to me, they're like "we don't stock those"
