Hi Marty,

Are the issues perhaps with squeaky drive or piston rods?  Mine does not start up as smooth as many of my diesels.  This is my only steam engine and I was wondering what you've experienced so I can compare?

I recently put one of these on the track at the local club for the first time.  Oiled all the wheels and driving rods etc first, and squeezed grease into the two ports on the bottom first.  Beautiful engine that looks and sounds great.

As far as running, it did not have the Odyssey 1 "lurch" some have described, but it took 21 volts to make it run at only moderate speed with a modest consist behind it.  (Side effect was terrific steam production!)  I thought perhaps after a warm-up/break-in period it would not be as sluggish, but no change after an hour or two of running.

Any recommendations?

David
