Title: 3 Truck Climax troubles....
Post by: Archertl on August 27, 2012, 07:04:25 PM
I purchased this three truck Climax new in July 2012. I have been very impressed with this locomotive until today. The front truck keeps jamming up. I have taking the gear box apart and cleaned and inspected all the gears. Nothing looks like it is wrong to me. All I can figure is the gear attached to the drive shaft some how become crooked. I not sure what to do at this point.
