All,

   My Connie is sick and I need some help.
OK, here are her symptoms, when shes going down the track it sounds like something is hitting/banging on her side rods. I looked at both sides and did not see any wear or marks or loose bolts that would be a cause of this. I got a small wrench and hex wrench and tightened the wheel weights and checked the side rod bolts.... I am stumped. Any one else have this problem? This is an older Connie, a non-dcc ready unit.... I like to think of it as a classic....   

Thanks,
