Reply to "Balky Pullmor motor in 2002 PW Classic Canadian Pacific F3"

If the motor moves a fraction of a turn and sticks, I would look for debris jammed in the spur gears on the side of the power truck.  You can even try turning the problematic motor's armature by hand one pole at a time.  Don't force it.  If there is a mechanical bind, you'll feel it!

Pat's advice to check for hardened grease is sound.  The binding could also be caused by a split worm wheel in the truck block.  If you separate the motor from the truck block to regrease, wipe some of the old grease off and look closely with a bright light for any hairline cracks.  Good luck, and please post back with what you find.
