Reply to "HELP! Lionel 728 not running smoothly"

Rear most driver axle bearing is worn. Look for rub marks of the driver wheel against the frame. Two repairs are replacement of the bearings or using an e-clip or cut washer on the axle to keep the worm gear centered as mentioned above.  I've done the bearing replacement, it is involved and you would need a wheel press or making some other apparatus to press the wheels back on after pressing in new bearings.  I would just snap a washer on and call it good.
