My t1 runs perfectly quiet. My only issue is the smoke. I redid the wicking and it still smokes poor. Based on the video, I probably have a bad smoke resistor. I'll either replace the smoke resistor or put in a lionel smart smoke unit so it puffs.
I would love a step by step fix on how to the bevel the drivers...I have this locomotive and I can only run it on my upper loop without switches. I love the whistle.
To bevel the drivers, I would assume the proper way would be to pull the wheels and put them on a lathe. I did not want to send the engine out so I improvised. I stripped the locomotive down to its frame and wheels. I then used a dremel with a grinding bit attached and put it against each blinder driver. I then turned the wheels by hand while holding the dremel steady. I got a nice bevel on each wheel.
