Guys, thanks for all of the ideas. I bought this unit for a relatively cheap price on E-bay, being $85 plus $20 shipping. (Thought I had scored a bargain!)

This price is about 1/3rd to 1/2 less than I have seen other new in box BEEPs being listed.

So, I have a strong suspicion that the Seller knew that there was a problem with this engine. Although the carton flap did not look like it had been opened, the extra oil on the bottom of the engine makes me think that someone tried to get this thing running at regular speed by oiling it up.

If I had any expertise like you guys in diagnosing and fixing mechanical and electrical problems with locos, I might keep it and try to fix it. But, for me, it would be just shooting in the dark, and most likely never being able to fix it.

Thanks,

Mannyrock
