Reply to "Weaver 2-8-0 noise"

I have Weaver A-5.

It makes gear noise going forward, but not backward.

Took it apart, thoroughly added grease by removing the plate that covers the bottom of the gear box (4 tiny screws.) Lubricated everything that I could access from inside.

No improvement noise wise. Grease pushing out front of gear box. Suspect front bearing missing.

It appears that further disassembly of gear box requires dropping the geared axle and gearbox out of the frame to open gear box.

That is beyond my pay grade.

I will have to live with the noise!
