Reply to "Lionel 2046 Engine"

Pat, On further inspection I THINK the front base of the front 4 wheels is "scraping" on the track.  I THINK there is a washer missing from the spring that is attached to this base.  (Sorry if I am not using all the correct terms.)  The spring is working but it is not holding up the base of the front 4 wheels high enough (my opinion).

There is about 1/16 of an inch of black paint scraped off in the bottom front of this metal base which indicates to me it is being scraped.

The larger chrome screw that holds this front 4 wheel base to the engine is tight but I wonder if it is missing a washer or two as well. I know these 4 wheels have to be looose and have some "play" to them but the "up/down"  play may be too much.  I know that if I added 2 washers the "up/down" play would be less.

I will look for a Lionel 2046 diagram of parts to see if my assumptions are correct.
