@Dennis-LaRock posted:Well, this has made for some interesting reading. I'm stubborn (and, stupid) enough to hunt one down and try to deal with it. I don't have any Rutland motive power and I would really like the Mogul... dreams and nightmares ...is their a difference?
The moguls differed in a few details, usually headlight location. I have relettered 3 of the them so no reason to wait for a specific version. Lionel has made them with TMCC, Legacy, and conventional. The TMCC versions have no issues and even have a better motor being a small Pittman. Only the Legacy version had the driveline issue. Of the 3 I worked on and at least 3 others I am aware of the only problem was excessive front siderod clearance.
Good luck in yiur quest.
