The springs seem to have plenty of tension on them.
Walt,
With that type of motor, that's the nature of the beast. Think about how many years of service that you've received from a basic,"throw away" type of engine. That's pretty darn good!
If you do buy another engine, you know what to look for. It's been a long hard road for you. Remember, toy trains are an experience in happiness.
