You’ll have to pop off the boiler shell to investigate, sounds motor/ gear train related. Look to see if something is scrubbing the flywheel, see if the motor mount screws are loose, and motor TO mount screws are loose,….check the condition of the grease, or lack there of in the gear box. ……is this a new to you noise?…or has it been that way from the get-go?.

I'll go take it apart again. I did find the 2 motor mount screws were loose and tightened them. The gear box seemed to be full of bearing grease (as prescribed in Weaver's paperwork). The noise came with the engine which I just received last week, so not sure if that's why it was sold or not. Bought it on Trainz.com. Thanks for the help.
