Really? An "easy fix"? Do you know something about those grease lubricated Canadian floating bearings on the main driver axle, that know body else over there knows about?
On that topic what did happen to the GTW 6325? something similar to the 4449 a few years ago when the grease formula was changed and resulting in replacing the babbitt?
Age of Steam website said something about a hot bearing on one of the drivers. No matter how complicated the bearings are, that is just one issue. However, there of course comes a problem if 6325 needs a 1472.
