OK, so I ran the engine only around my home layout without the tender for quiet. Sounded like the squeak was from the forward wheel linkage, so I lubricated it all with labella light oil. 90% of squeaking gone, if it does not go away totally in the next week I will reapply to the forward section of the linkage. So if you have squeaking, lubricate the linkage. Also added some labella grease to the grease ports, you never know if they have enough. No, I am not paid by Labella, it is what I use and it works. Originally got it because it is plastic safe and recommended by friends in train club.
