Reply to "Lionel 6-8473 issues"

I just checked and I have the powermax plus 40 watt transformer. I think there is something mechanically wrong. I meticulously cleaned the motor, brushes and gears again today and regreased the gears and it’s still running very poorly. It sounds like the motor wants to run but something is holding it back. When cleaning it this time I did find some hair wrapped around there the axle between the truck and the gears so I pulled as much as I could out with a pair tweezers I ground down to fit in the gap. I found a truck and motor assembly from another switcher that looks identical to the one that’s on there so I ordered it. I figured for $30 it’s worth a try at this point. 

I’ll update again once that post comes in, it’ll be a few days
