Reply to "MTH 20-2214-1 #80 Coal Turbine Protosounds 1"

First, I have found oiling does work.  All bearings on our trains for the most part are oilite bearings.  But they can dry out and a drop of oil will sit on the shaft and be drawn in to the bearing.  It doesn't dissipate even when spinning.  The fan motor is replaceable on all MTH smoke units.  BE-0000041 is the part number.

Trying to find a the whole smoke unit is more problematic for PS-1 as early engine had unique and press fit stacks.  Later MTH went to more generic thread stacks, though some models don't.

Oil the fan and try it.  Buy a BE-41 for back up.  Simple.  G
