Look through the axle where the gear box is. Do you see the tell tale intermediate shaft that would suggest a compound gear box? . ……not all of the newer lionel product line have that compound arrangement. I’m not familiar with T1 construction. The 2018 (ish) new Hudson J3a’s do not have a compound gear arrangement,……also to note, the only known gear box issues that I’m aware of are the Legacy Pennsy K4’s,…..unless there’s another John is aware of,……
