Mike, I thought of that after I got looking at it per John H’s suggestions. The drive rods all looked good, the tires do need replaced, they are shiny and starting to crack. I’ll find the right ones later.

I started moving the flywheel a bit. It was stiff in the reverse direction. After putting it on the track and powering it up, it ran forward again then reverse for a foot and stalled. I moved the flywheel back and forth again; to make a long story short it is now freed up so that it will run slow at about 7.5 volts both forward and backwards. Nothing mechanical seemed to pop into place, it just seemed stiff. I like the crap in the gears possibility, GRJohn.

I left the boiler off and will try it again tomorrow. Now, should I take it apart to clean it, or leave it be? I’m leaning towards the latter. The Website said it came out in 2012.

Thank you everyone!
