Forney with grinding noise

[csgmtu]

Hello

I have 3 Forneys and they all have grinding noise when running. The noise is so loud on one that it overpowers the sound.
Any history of this? any fixes?

thanks

Out of the 6 that I own, I had 2 that I had to send back to Bachmann for just this reason.  You can try LIGHTLY lubing the gears, but this only worked on one of mine that had the problem-I still ended up sending two back.  The good news is that Bachman stood by their product and sent me replacements.  It's now been at least 5 years since replacement, and none of the noises have returned to any of my Forneys.  Do yourself a favor-call them first-the toll free number is 800-356-3910.  The reason I will always sing praises of Bachmann is because of the way I have always been treated when contacting them with any questions or problems.  The folks in the shop must be fans themselves, because they really seem to care.  Best of luck.
