Reply to "Help with new Lionel SW7"

Its good to hear you resolved the issue. Hopefully other SW7 owners heed your advice.

I grease the gearbox of every Loco before it hits the track. Lionel adds little to no grease and often times what is there is stuck on the side of the gearbox and not on the gears.

The new H10 has a removable bottom plate on the chassis which gives full access to the gears, this is a huge plus.

Needless to say, my H10 had just a bit of "Vaseline like" grease on the worm. The intermediate and axle gear were bone dry.

I also recall Alex M opening the VL Niagara gearbox revealing totally dry gears as well....on a $1700 locomotive
