Mike, agreed that the 182 Crane is too loud. Looks like it is running smoothly now but still too loud. The 282 provides adjustment of the worm gear engagement by sliding the motor. Those clever engineers at Lionel designed the motor base with a slight taper so moving the motor in it's track raises/lowers it with respect to the base it rests on and thus also wrt the pinion gear the motor worm mates with. I wonder if the 182 has a similar provision for adjustment?
