Reply to "Lionel 623 Switcher Problem"

It looks okay to me.  I don’t think all the noise is electrical.  Examine the shaft, bearings and thrust washer for damage and wear.  Also check axial and radial movement of the armature shaft.  There should be no perceptible radial movement (side to side).  There should be a few thousands of axial play.  Radial play indicates a bad bushing.  Excessive axial play indicates bad or missing thrust washer(s).
