Reply to "Loose gear LC+ RS3"

Mike WyattOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have several LC+ locomotives (all steamers except the RS-3's) - and only problem ever has been the PRR RS-3, which had the plastic gear train. The broken tooth I had, I believe, was due to a piece of ballast getting picked up by the locomotive.

The parts RS-3 I got (also a 2015 PRR) also has a plastic gear, but it is running well. With the new trucks, my original one is running fine (slower and noisier with the new trucks than with the plastic trucks), so now I have 2 PRR RS-3's AND a (new design w/ metal drivetrain) Peabody Coat unit.

The LC+ locos are great, especially when kids are running the trains. They have a challenge understanding and using TMCC and Legacy units. The handheld, simple remote IS the best thing for kids, I have found, including "conventional" transformer control.
